 If you want all of the benefits of an SUV, comfort, styling, AND great fuel mileage, nothing compares.  To tell you how well people love this vehicle, just do a search and see if you can find any used.  At over 80,000 miles we've only changed shocks and tires. That's it.  My wife loves this vehicle too.  The newest one of this LTD version is going for over $45,000.   If you can find a used, one, its going to be around $30,000.  If you are lucky.  The mileage of 28 mpg, means not only fuel savings but great range between fill ups, and most fill ups at these current prices, are barely over $20.  Heated seats, power everything, moon roof, ability to tow up to 3500 lbs, AWD for the snow, and rain, what more can you ask for ?  Also, its not bulky looking, and is very agile in city driving.  Toyota built this thing bullet proof, and I'd expect easily to get 200,000 miles.    Mileage will drop off in the winter a bit, but that's mostly if you are only doing short trips, and the engine has to warm up, to heat the interior.  You are still getting way better fuel mileage than ANY SUV or VAN out there in the market place, bar none.  And its just a comfortable comfortable ride.  The vehicle still looks sharp, and not dated in styling at all, and in fact looks better than the new Highlanders coming out, that are bloated, and now bulky.  This vehicle is a GEM, if you can find one.
