Detailed review:	After 850 Miles And One Extended Road Trip, That Included Nasty Weather, The Experience Of Being A Highlander Owner Is One Of Growth. The Styling Is Becomming Less Awkward, I'm Growing To Like It More Each Day. The Interior's Comfort & Flexibility, The Primary Reason For My Purchase, Has Also Become A Growth Experience; The Flat Floors Realy Open Up The Seating Room, Amazing How That Changes Everything You Might Have Thought About Interior Space. The Drive Train, & Ride Are Amazingly Endering. Like A Libation, They Seduce You, Slowly, Measurably, Every Time You Drive, In A Consistant Cadance. With Each Ride Yo Add To The List Of Likes: Your Impressed With The Smoothness... The Silence {Provided The Windows/Sunroof Are Closed}... The Power {V-6}... These Confidance Enhancing Drugs Draw You Into A Feeling Of A Solid Comfort; Reinfoced By Quality Construction {Very Little Screws Or Weld Visible,Tight Seams, No Gaps In The Carpeting}, Comfortable Seating, & An Excellent Heating/Air Conditioning System. I Have Complaints: The Big One... Leather Interior Is Ivory Only. Hard To Keep Clean! The Small Ones: Akward Center Console Lay-out. Bad Design, As The Lower Center Opening Is Relitivly Useless; Ashtry In Wrong Position; Cup Holders Fragile, & A Dirt Trap; Storage Area's Door Fancy And Fragile; Rear Seats Should Slide Foward And Back, Not Only Recline; The Passanger Seat Should Have Power Adjustments, Or At The Very Least Manual Ones That Go Beyond Travel And Recline. The Driver's Seat And Other Settings Should Have At Least 1 Memory Setting. I'm 42 Now, And Didn't Purchase This Vehicle To Be A Dream Car, Just A Practile One. I Have A Strange Feeling That When I Visit You, On My 60th Birthday, I'll Be Driving This Highlander.
