2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV Limited 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Early adopter
 I bought the 2nd Hybrid Highlander available in the Houston area.  Overall, I have enjoyed owning this car. It is fun to drive. The hybrid system acts like a turbo when I want to stomp on it, but gas mileage goes down to low 20s MPG.  When I work at it, I can get low to mid 30s MPG. My hybrid inverter went out recently, but this has a long warranty (8 yr, 100K mi).  However, the car had to be towed into the shop.  The new HH has an electric vehicle mode that allows short distance driving on battery only, but I doubt if this works without the inverter.  I test drove a 2008 model and it is more sluggish due to the added size/weight.  I would buy the 2006 model again.
