Good appetite for fuel. It is difficult to find in the market in good condition (I was looking for my 4 months). So, the crossover of 2004 edition, restyling, equipment "Limited", because, maximum, engine 3.3, power 223 l / s. Behind the nondescript appearance lies a quite solid urban crossover, in a more glamorous exterior - Lexus RX-300. But for us, after all, the main thing is how we feel inside, and not what they think of us from the outside, isn't it?). The engine allows you to feel confident, both in city traffic and on the highway - acceleration without problems, but even without fanaticism - this is not a sedan, but a car with a high center of gravity, moreover, on the track, the 2004 toyota highlander  windage is high. Automatic transmission 5-speed, installed since 2003 instead of 4-speed, switches smoothly, without jerks. Noise isolation, like all "Japanese", is not very good, but, compared to a Honda car, it is much quieter. Long-stroke suspension , "break through" it - you have to try very hard. The brakes are not that weak, but for a 2-ton crossover it would be worthwhile to install brake discs of a larger diameter. (18-20 l / 100 in the city), does not tolerate low-quality fuel - the "jackie chan" immediately lights up "friendly". The ergonomics are excellent - the back does not get tired even during long hauls. For fans of conspiracy theories, I’ll say right away I’m not going to sell the car myself, especially since I was looking for it for a long time, and without exaggeration in agony. There are few such cars on the market, in fair condition, and the owners are reluctant to part with those that are. About the reasons below. So, realizing that the Audi era ended, somewhere, at the turn of 2004, and what was released later pleases, mainly servicemen, I fell into some thought. Machine requirement: 1. Reliable; 2. Comfortable; 3. Inexpensive to maintain; 4. Mandatory presence of all-wheel drive; 5. Dynamic in acceleration, but without fanaticism; 6. Roomy, because I am a family man, and my family members also include my dogs of considerable size. In the interval between the operation of various modifications of the AUDI A6, I became closely acquainted with the Suzuki Grand Vitara (the advantages are excellent cross-country ability, reliability, compactness; the disadvantages are beyond the order of expensive maintenance, dubious ergonomics, insufficient dynamics of a car with a 2-liter engine, coupled with an ancient, 4- x speed automatic transmission, mockingly small trunk, poor sound insulation traditional for many Japanese cars), Skoda Octavia, in my opinion, is the most successful with a 1.8 turbocharged engine with manual transmission, but the VAG concern, having firmly decided to poison the existence of fans of its products, began to produce cars with cursed many DSG boxes, at the same time reducing the reliability and quality of the engine line. The exception is 1.6 engines, dating back to almost prehistoric times. engines under the symbol YN, installed on the first models of the Passat, Scirocco; and other models that are now also rare on the roads, and evoke the same nostalgic feelings as, for example, Moskvich-412. But with such an engine, a heavy car, moreover, equipped with an automatic transmission, is practically impossible to disperse, and the lack of dynamics is sometimes simply dangerous. However, excuse me, I digress from the topic. So Gorets. Options with 2.4 engines were not considered by me from the very beginning; firstly, among them, basically, there were cars only with front-wheel drive; secondly, for the joys of comfort, they could only boast of air conditioning, and for me it is important to have climate control (well, I'm used to it); thirdly, the fabric upholstery of the color of the curtains in the orphanage, moreover, worn, led to despondency. Accordingly, I was looking only for a restyled model, produced since 2003, with a 3.3-liter engine, 5-speed automatic transmission, in the Limited configuration, i.e., with climate control, leather interior, electric adjustment and heated seats. I won’t hide it, and it’s nice to have a Lexus RX-300, albeit in the shoes of a Japanese UAZ, the consumer qualities are the same, b https://cars45.ug/listing/toyota/highlander/2004
