- "Toyota's well-earned reputation for top quality and good resale value are strong lures and likely will outweigh in many shoppers' minds the Highlander's obvious shortcomings." -- Newsday
- "The Highlander, new in 2001, has never been the prettiest, quickest, or cheapest of the I'm-not-a-minivans, but it sells well partly on its sterling quality rep." -- Car and Driver
- "The Highlander makes the grade on all counts, though it doesn't excel in any one area. Provided it can maintain its outstanding resale value and reliability, it should prove a smart -- if not particularly captivating -- choice for years to come." -- Cars.com
- "Toyota is known for quality and reliability, but there is a feeling among some that those areas have slipped of late. Toyota officials acknowledged that they have fallen short of some internal standards, and they've responded with a new manufacturing program called Customer First. The Highlander was the first vehicle to benefit from the program, which includes additional prototypes, additional quality control personal, and a renewed focus on product quality." -- New Car Test Drive
