Toyota Great Again!
By StPatrick on 9/29/2024 7:42:13 AM
Upgraded from a 2019 Honda Pilot Elite AWD to a 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and I must say I was a Honda person for a long long time and my wife was Toyota. I have officially converted. I know it’s not completely apples to apples, but the Elite pilot was Honda's top and now we have a platinum Toyota and it’s not even fair. The Toyota is just put together better inside and out. Better design, smoother drive and inside is night and day, especially in regards to the electronic components. Highly recommend Toyota’s over Honda’s.
