I’m looking to spend in the mid 30’s on a used SUV (2018 or newer). I need a third row for occasional use only. We put high mileage on our cars and keep them for years. I’m considering the Highlander. Does anyone have opinions on the Highlander or other vehicles to consider. Thanks!

| Why not buy a new Subaru Ascent? |
Based on recent posts, a Subaru Ascent does not have the power to get out of a 7-11 parking lot once the driver has brought on board a Big Gulp. |
| Why do you think you need an SUV? |
Eco-shamer here. |
If you own an SUV and don’t have 1) 3 or more kids, 2) a boat or horse trailer to tow, or 3) live somewhere without paved roads where four wheel drive is required, then YES, you should be ashamed. Because your stupid phallic symbol is killing our planet. |
I have an SUV, I rarely drive right now so it has under 2K miles since October. So, I cannot imagine you are driving less then me so you are probably far less environmental than we are. |
Highlanders are great. Reliable, comfortable, plenty of space for cargo and passengers. |
Are you new to communication with words and sentences?

| We bought a new Mazda CX-9 last year (has 3 rows) and absolutely love it. We test drove the Highlander and Pilot as well but thought the Mazda drove the best. It has really good reviews, as well. The interior materials feel a lot more luxurious, too. |

If you only need a third row occasionally, why not something like a Kia Sorento? Pop up third row seats, and you could buy a lightly used one for under 30k.
A Highlander is pretty big for someone not needing a third row every day. |
Most SUV drivers are women. |
So what - all of your wasteful driving is ok because you aren't driving right now? Your post doesn't even make sense. |
Weird - my 15 year old station wagon does all of that and gets great mileage too. Of course like all cars on the road most of its miles are my wife driving alone to work but hey get that third row for the 6 times a year you will need it so someone doesn't have to sit in the middle seat. Everyone driving these silly status symbols realizes that we are killing our planet right now? And that everyone on the road, including you, is less safe too? |

I love my Highlander too! It's definitely not a status symbol, but we've loved it. So practical and never has a problem as long as you do basic maintenance.
