2005 Toyota Highlander SUV Fwd 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
2005 v64wd highlander
 I bought my highlander after considering size, saftey, gas milage,and reliability as compared to other suv's.  The size is perfect for me-not too big, not too small.  There is plenty of room for hauling-took 2 kids to college in it.  It's very nice to drive, but the transmission is sluggish when starting out.  Also, I previously had an explorer, and the seats in it were much more comfortable.  It's a pleasure to drive- it's very quiet and smooth-sort of like gliding through the air!  It handles very well around bends etc, and is easy even for me to park!
