We are driving a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid…and I love it. It is such a smooth ride and so quiet. We also have a gas model Highlander and I can see the difference. We fight over the Hybrid. Got a good rebate but in our area we are unlikely to ever break even on the upcharge for the hybrid as we do not have stop and go traffic here. If you are in a city or often stuck on an expressway or coasting toward long waits at lights, you will get much more use out of the 1-15 on the battery. No one talks much about the Fun Factor with the hybrid engine which is the smooth drive and pep. The Highlander was big enough for hauling stuff to college dorms and back and carries a bass to orchestra weekly. But it feels like driving a Camry in terms of feeling car based.
