YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control)
2007 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase

2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars.

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition.
