Everything fits. Enough said. |

Again for the price, the quality is exceptional compared to the other cars. |

Good quality. Reliable. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Fit and finish are very good. Doors open and close with a very solid thud -- no flimsy tin can feeling. Dash is well put together, no rattles. Paint is very good, no excessive orange peel. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Hyundai Tucson: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Cheap plastics scratch easily. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
a lot of hard plastic on the dash and cabin |
What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Highlander Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Toyota Highlander: Pros | ||

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Trim and fit is well executed. Controls are well positioned for easy reach and intuitive use. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fit and finish are first rate. Paint jobis exceptional. Leather seats are sturdy and should hold up under rough usage. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Will hold up over time; easy to keep clean and looking new |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Toyota quality is there to to bottom. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Toyota, made in Japan. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Typical great Toyota craftsmanship. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |

| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Highlander: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The "leather" or whatever it was on the seats seemed hard and uninviting. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A lot of poor interior materials - headliner, hard plastics on dash, some key controls (door locks, mirror adjustment) unlit at night |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
looks cheap inside. |
