2006 Toyota Highlander SUV 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Perfect Balance
 The Highlander is a well-rounded vehicle and the perfect compromise.  It combines great utility (passenger and cargo space), smooth comfort (plush and quiet ride), nimble and quick handling (plenty of power), good fuel economy (averaging 23 mpg w/ V6), and a reasonable purchase price.  I replaced a Chevy Tahoe and the more manageable size is great when parking and maneuvering - yet the space inside is still ample.  I compared against the RAV4 and found the HL to be more comfortable, upscale and attractive, for about the same net price.  I skipped the third row seating as Id never use it, and I appreciate the under-floor storage locker thats provided instead.
