Detailed review: |
I picked up my 2006 Toyota Hybrid Highlander in Nov of 2005.The suv drives nicely and is very comfortable. I do not have the Limited or GPS package but do have the 4X4i. I changed over to Leasing a Toyota after Leasing A Chrysler for 6 years (Two different cars). However, my biggest disappointment is the gas mileage promised. The sticker stated 31 city and 29 Highway. Well so far that has been a lot of bunk. I have about 6000 miles on my car. My average millege city and highway is between 19 to 20 miles per gallon on regular gas. I live in Staten Island N.Y. and brought my car back to the dealer twice with this problem. Each time he said there was nothing wrong with the car. I have been checking this mileage each time I fill my car with regular gas so this is not a random sampling of gas mileage. I hope the gas mileage improves for summer driving. I am a retired teacher and a very conservative driver. I would even be happy with 25 MPG. |
