If you are in the market for a used Toyota, Spirit Toyota in St. Louis highly suggests the 2008 Toyota Highlander.  In 2008 the highlander was refreshed, Toyota increased the cabin space to improve comfort and added cargo space for more storage area for traveling or transporting kids and all of their gear.  The 2008 Toyota Highlander has also been given high scores for safety features and reliability as well.

The 2008 Toyota Highlander also features more comforts than its predecessor such as more cubby holders and even a laptop compartment for convenience.

Toyota also improved the engine which is now even more powerful with a 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine.  This increase in power allows for enough speed in whatever driving situation you find yourself in.

The fuel economy of the 2008 Highlander has been improved as well.  The Front-wheel drive gets 18mpg city/24 mpg highway and the AWD models get 17/23.

Toyota has improved the engine and fuel economy, but what about the steering and braking?  Both have been upgraded from prior models. The steering has improved precision that allows the driver to squeeze into tighter spots.  The upgraded braking system allows stop on a dime capabilities.

The NHTSA and the IIHS gave the 2008 Highlander its highest scores in driver front impacts and for all passengers in side impacts.  Front-impact for the passenger received four-stars which is an excellent rating as well.  Some standard features that put the buyers mind at ease are four-wheel-disc antilock brakes, traction control and an electronic stability system.  Add to that, seven airbags that Toyota installs to protect the driver and passengers and it’s easy to see why this vehicle tested so amazingly high in all areas of safety.
