2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
This Hybrid is a Technological Marvel!
 This car is powerful, comfortable, and reliable after 6 months of ownership.  However, it does not surprise me with it's gas mileage.  I mean it a big luxurious box and not wedge shaped like the Prius.  It gets 25 mpg at 80 and averages 23.5 mpg with in town driving.  Since the temperature dropped it is getting 17.5 mpg.  I bought the car used from a local dealership and had it checked by the Toyota dealership twice. Once before I bought it and then after.  The Highlander had some maintenance items that were due for attention, spark plugs, coolant etc.  Through all that a cracked radiator was missed.  I saw no pink coolant on the ground, but did notice the overfill tank was not staying at level.  They did not notice it after two inspections and flushing the radiator.  It's important to do a Carfax.  The inverter was replaced under recall. The steering part was replaced under recall.  The timing belt was replaced at 88,000 miles.  These are important things to check on this particular year and model of the Toyota Highlander.  Yes, I always do my research. I feel that I got a fair price of 11,000 for this overbuilt tank.  The Hybrid system is fascinating.  I believe this SUV could be good for anyone that does their research and follows the maintenance schedule.  Carfax is extremely important.  Car Fax sold this vehicle to me - not the dealer.  Make sure the recalls are done or run away, don't walk. I probably would have found the parts second hand.  However, the beast is fun to drive on the interstate.  It feels big, but is maneuverable in town.  The power for a midsized SUV is insane.  I am hoping to get 100,000 more miles out of it.  I think it's going to make it.
