 Favorite feature:

Great MPG for a truck, roomier than you'd expect.

 Least favorite feature:

Aerodynamic design causes us to not open windows.

 Advice to buyer:

Toyota has become arrogant about it's pricing, beat-up the salesman good!

 Detailed review:

I have owned my Highlander hybrid for exactly one year now and I have yet to see better than 22 MPG. The mileage stated by Toyota is seriously wrong. I feel dupped. I tried driving at 60 MPH, 'coasting ' where possible, reducing air conditioning usage, premium gas, NOTHING WORKED. I can't complain too loudly, overall I'm satisfied with the vehicle. Great guts for a battery operated toy. I should note that I am unable to open only one or two windows while driving due to a fluttering sound it makes which hurts our ears, that should definetely be redesigned.
