      Really? Do you own one or are you just doing a review on it ? I’ve had Mercedes , BMW , Audi and have owned 11 Toyotas ( Tacoma, Tundra , Sequoia, RAV-4 ) . 250,000 miles get another one . I hade a Tacoma 450,000 with no problems. They aren’t the most technologically advanced vehicles but they are the most reliable hands down .

    I own 3 Toyotas of different body types and a high end Porsche too. There’s no comparison in terms of reliability, maintenance cost and value of a Toyota. You need to ascertain why and what your priorities are in seeking in a car. German cars feel and drive impressively but you better have a good income to afford maintenance and upkeep. But if brand and name is important to you, then you have different priorities and reasons why a Highlander is not for you.

      So I'm back 10 months later after my purchase of a new 2023 Highlander limited. I will confess the 4 cyl turbo engine is a bit underwhelming but gets the job done. I also experienced the dreaded non linear acceleration defect, but a recall with new ECM program has seemingly fixed the issue entirely. I will continue to religiously change the oil every 3k to 4k miles and feel confident this vehicle will stand the test of time.
      We've put about 1k miles/month on the vehicle, so it's at about 10k miles now.

    Time for a reality check. I own a 2021 Highlander Platinum trim and it is a great car to have. Your complaints are somewhat misguided. 1st - I disagree with your statement about the price. Yes it is a high price car but the car retains the value for WAY longer than ANY luxury car does. Do you homework cause I think you don’t know this. So if I lease this vehicle the price of this vehicle will depreciate very little compare to most luxury vehicles. I agree with the app and the 3rd row being the biggest draw back but most luxury companies don’t even have these features for free either - you have to pay either way. At the current rate of interest rates there are very little cars that are a good idea to lease. 2 years ago there were good options right now I would not buy or lease any car even if its a Toyota that will hardly depreciate and that’s where you will need to correct because Toyotas don’t die but your luxury cars do.

    It’s funny because I own a Toyota Highlander and I work for one the German manufacturers you mentioned. I would never compare the two. The Asian brands will almost always hold their value better due to their reliability. The cost of ownership of the German brands is insane. I do love the performance of the Germans but for something that gets me from A to B safely and reliably every day, I can deal without the luxury. Also, you would have to spend at minimum another $20k to get into a theee row German SUV.

    I think you are wrong about the lease payments. Yes, for the similar amount of money for a really good spec Highlander you can get a new GLC or X3 or Q5 - however BMW and Audi are pretty bad in terms of reliability and engine issues. MB is still holding good in this but the lease payments are a lot more than Highlander. I am Mercedes guy, I was only driving MBs for a very long time, after we moved to Canada we got a brand new Toyota Rav4, before that we used to have W177 A Class which was really nice car. Toyota kease payments are not too bad and I think looking at the lease payments from premium brands are pretty high and when you want to own the car you will pay a lot more at the end of the lease than you would just finance it. The more the expensive the car is the more money you will throw at the end to own it. If you want to own the more premium czr from brand new the better option is to finance, lease is only as good as you will switch the cars after few years.

    Guess no one explained how a smart entry actually works. The lines on top of the handle lock the car... To open just stick your hand in the handle and open. As far as the European counterparts he mentioned check that resale in 3-5 years. Good luck with that. Good luck once you get over 100k

  • @flyinchop
    @flyinchop 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes the highlander is expensive, and yes you it is approaching some of the German options, but how is it regarding total cost of ownership. I’d be willing to venture TCO is far less than its German rivals, and this is why people chose the Toyota (and Lexus) over a Benz or Audi. Second, I personally think leasing a car is a horrible idea. Leases are structured to benefit the dealer. Not only do they get the high monthly payment, you are limited on the miles that you can drive. Then at the end of the lease, they turn around and sell what is a low mileage car as a CPO and make even more money. I’d opt for the purchase of a CPO and pay cash if you are able to. You’ll come out ahead as opposed to the lease.

    One more comment about my Highlanders vs an Audi. I've owned 19 new cars over my lifetime and several used ones when I was young. None of my cars ever broke down and left me stranded until I purchased a brand new 2009 Audi A4. In the two years I owned it, I had to have it towed twice. Once I had it towed to a local garage from 80 miles away when it broke down. I'd never have another Audi.

    highlander doors open the first time every time. You just grab the handle, stop pushing the lock or unlock button. The third row is small but it’s for kids mostly. Lastly, it’s resale value is hugely better then others you mentioned. You can buy this and in a few years sell it and come out good, the others you can’t.

The vehicle has 78,000 miles and other than the lousy OEM tires that had to be replaced at 36,000 miles, no mechanical problems. Brakes are original and show about 50% left. Regular oil & filter changes at approximately 5,000 miles and tire rotation and balance at the same interval. That's it!

    I own a 2017 Audi we bout New! The problem is when you buy a German made vehicle. After the warranty is no more. At an Only unbelievable 50k miles. Your on your own. Had to replace the trans at only 97k miles. Was making a Whining noise.
    I drive it normally. Not heavy footed. Audi wanted $13k to replace with a New Trans. I said Audi can’t stick it!
    I looked on line for a Used one that matched ours. From an Indian run company that buys wrecks from the auto insurance companies.
    It was the exact year and model as mine with only 25k miles. For $2.400. And included delivery to wherever I wanted in the continental United States.
    I called Audi of Orlando not too far from where I live.
    Ask them if they could remove and replace with the one I bought and how much?
    They said yes they could do it for $2000. So I was sold on that from 13,000 to 4600 big major difference.
    The Audi has 128,000 miles on it now when it reaches 150 the same company I bought the transmission also sells engines out of wrecked Audis that they run and make sure are in good working order and they also give me a two year warranty on that transmission and the same on the engines that they sell and the engine would be $4600 and that’s with shipping anywhere in the continental United States pay Audi another $2000. There’s only $4800 versus 15,000 for an engine. They’re criminal crap they want you to buy something new and get you no more bigger debt. They suck ass like a lot of companies in the US.
