2015 Toyota Highlander SUV LE 4dr SUV (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
4 Cylinder gets great Mileage!
 I bought the base model LE Highlander and I am impressed with it, especially the suspension and drivetrain.  It is very smooth, quiet, and fuel efficient.  The four cylinder model has all the power you need, as I have never had a lead foot. I got great mileage above the EPA 20 -25 mpg advertised.  I averaged 26.2 mpg on a 3600 mile trip.  By keeping your foot out of the gas, you can achieve good results and still do 70-80mph on the Interstate.  It handles well and has good control in rain and mountains.  The climate control system is superior and I liked everything about this vehicle, except the cloth seats could be better quality.  My wife complained that the side mirrors are too big, but I like them as is.  As an old geezer I don't really care about the new computer technology gizmos and this base model suits my needs admirably.  After comparing numerous mid sized SUV models, I chose this vehicle because I have had good luck with Toyotas.  This is my fourth.1/23/17  update: Had car for One and a half years.  12,600 on odometer.  Still impressed.  Only complaint is 4 cylinder on cruise control can't hold top gear on slight inclines at freeway speed.  It constantly power downshifts at 75-80mph, which keeps me honest and ticketless.  The comfort of the suspension is still awesome.  It is mainly my wifes car and she gets 18-22 mpg around the city 'cause she likes to juice it more than me.  Very satisfied owner.1/26/18  update: Vehicle is still going strong.  24K on odometer.  Moved to the Rockies, car handles high altitude and snow very well.  No problems at all.  Still, it's a mom bomb that rides like a cadillac so I'm happy with it.  Starts right up in cold weather (-5 degrees), warms up quickly, and the snow feature keeps you from slipping on packed snow on the road.  I think front wheel drive is 90 percent as good as all wheel drive if you don't get too crazy with dirt roads, mud, and snow.  Overall, the vehicle is holding up very well with the limited abuse I subject it to.  It is a good value for a base model.
