2004 Toyota Highlander User Reviews

Pros

very reliable best suv ive ever owned

Cons

none to name

BEST SUV on the open market you know how everyone says The Hummer H2 is the best car well You try parking that thing in a tight spot it wont happen and the same goes for the escalade suburban tahoe yukon denali all of them this is midsized compact truck.

Pros

gas mileage, ample cargo room, interior space is roomy for a mid size.

Cons

maintenance light and tire pressure net to be reset after affected

The instrument panel is boring and the exterior plain but overall i can't find a reason to trade in my 04' for a Land Rover or a Mercedes Benz. In fact on the contrary if i want to stay away from high price garage fee's and out of rental cars, i've found researching i better stick with my 04'Highlander. Besides i feel safe when driving in rainy , fog and windy weather, and the V6 gives me the power i need to deal with it!!!!! Honestly, under the hood this is one of the best cars ever!...read morehide

Owned a Highlander for two years, over 33,000 miles without a single problem. A SUV that rides like a car and with most SUV pluses.

My 2003 Highlander with 7000 miles has a rattle in the back that is driving me crazy.Service cannot find it.It also has a pump pump sound in the engine which is probably smog device or fuel pump.Other than that it is o.k.At a Price tag of $35600.00 you would think it would do a wee bit better.I am going to trade it off and it will not be a Highlander or Toyota....read morehide

The 4 cyl Highlander is an acceptable "soccer mom" SUV. Few need a V8 or even a V6 to curry around town. Even on the highway at 65-70 mph the tach is only at 2500 rpm. No need to "super-size" cars today. The Highlander drives and handles like a dream. Toyota knowns how to build quality.

I bought the 2004 Highlander last week. I love it! It's cost efficiency and size are the best on the market. I am totally cool with my Highlander.

I currently drive a 2001 Toyota Highlander and scoped out the features for the 2004 V6 4x2 Limited version with leather. I must say it is well equipped and the price is very attractive. The 2004 version is equipped with the new 230hp 3.3L with 5 gears than 4 like the previous models so you get a little better power and gasoline mileage. In comparison to the Honda Pilot, both are outstanding cars. The only difference is the Honda Pilot carrying a 3.5L engine and a slightly longer body. Interior room is about the same but the Honda Pilots steering is a little stiffer so it may be more like a truck like feeling. The Highlander drives like the Camry and handles just like a sedan so I'd go for the Toyota Highlander because of its better handling and equipment....read morehide

Great balance between size, power, and handling. Very car-like, smooth ride with good interior room. It is quick off the line but a little slower for passing. I was looking for a third row seat without having to get a monster full size that gets 12-14 mpg. My only wish is that is was a few inches longer....read morehide

The Highlander is a great suv except for the sunroof. It is very difficult to tell when the roof is in the fully closed position. I would never again waste my money on this poorly designed option.

I just bought a highlander a month ago and its the best investment I've ever made on the car. There is ample room for anything imaginable, the seats are very comfortable and its a very smooth ride. The gas mileage is not bad at 18mpg in the city compared to other SUV's. Im extremely happy with it
