Love to see a CHR review. Good job AMD
I wish there are more master technician like you on the YouTube channel but for different car brands
Can you do a review also for the 2020 corolla??
V6 for the win.
After watching this Awesome Review about the Highlander. I still want one in the XSE Trim. I rented a 2017 Highlander SE a few years ago. I went on a 8 hr round trip and I fell in love with it. It was the perfect size for me. The only problem we had was getting confused with opening the tailgate with the pop up or pop out rear glass window. We got it right by the end of the trip. The Highlander XSE will definitely be my next vehicle hands down.
FINALLY….thank you SO MUCH. I've been waiting for this. We LOVE our '21 limited nonhybrid. You're the best!
The "get ready for future self-driving cars" safety electronics in my opinion promotes complacency while driving. This stuff adds about $5000-$7500 to the cost of the vehicle, and I have all of mine disabled. For those who actually read the manual, ultimately the driver is still responsible for any accidents should there be a safety electronics malfunction, as it says the driver isn't suppose to rely on the electronics to avoid accidents or to push the limits of the vehicle or scenario.
What a way to kick off a wonderful Saturday, thank you Mr. & Mrs. Car Care Nut.
Great and useful review , as always , i think with the few ups and downs , Toyota is the most safe bet on uber complicated world of today car industry . Greetings from The Sunshine State.
I have a 2020 RX350 with the same powertrain. I actually find the 8 speed to be pretty refined. Of course prior to purchase I was looking at Acura vehicles with the ZF9 transmission which is the definition of crappy. That thing would hunt and delay like crazy, so when I test drove the Lexus I found it to be much better. After 18 months with the 8 speed I find it to be very smooth….maybe programmed differently. I was very close to purchasing the Highlander but the Lexus dealer made an offer that was almost the same price as the Highlander. The Highlander is a great value: You get a lot for your money (I was looking right after it came out so dealers were not moving on MSRP too much). The only other thing that I do not like about the Highlander is the redesigned front end. To me it looks too much like a Subaru and the frowning face is not as attractive as it could be. Otherwise it is a great vehicle. Another great video AMD!
My friend be honest with the people who is watching your videos..
I'm personally I don't like CVT transmission nor do I like E CVT due to my long experience it is a horrible pain, it is a junk.. they are raping peoples money
It's a pleasure to listen your videos.
No hyper antics or clickbait titles.
Just real knowledge from a person speaks humbling but not cowardly.
Stay safe and well
The center console wireless charger thing is 100% spot on. Was a terrible decision.
Great video! I earlier had a 2018 Subaru Outback and was not impressed by the build quality. So I now have a 2021 Highlander Limited. This car is a very well put together, refined, and a pleasure to drive. No complaints so far.
