Test drove a highlander once.  Liked it a lot.  Then, I realized that I was broke and bought a 10 year old Diamante  :crybaby:

I'm getting one or the other in July and can't decide if I want to spend the extra cash on the Highlander or not. If I went Highlander then I would get a Hybrid.

My dad has a Rav4. Only thing I didn't like was the interior, it is kinda cheap-ish.

I considered it. I just narrowed it down to the Highlander and the Rav4. I don't like the body of the CR-V as much as the other two and the CR-V and Rav4 are about the same price with the same gas mileage.

how much more is the highlander?

About 10 grand if you go with the hybrid. The highlander hybrid gets 32/27 gas mileage and the Rav4 gets 24/30. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the Rav4 because I've heard that the extra money for the highlander isn't really worth it. Plus the highlander has a third row which I don't know how I feel about..

Isn't it just the same as you would get with any car priced in the same range? Or was it exceptionally cheap-ish?

I'd get a 5 year old Lexus rx300 if I were you.  You know how us Changs' like to roll.  All about the Rexus.  It's pretty sweet driving either a 98 sc300 or an 03 es300 for cheaper than a Hyundai.

I just paid $2500 (down payment + 6 mos. insurance) for my lady's car.  Live it up you assholes, the real world sucks ass.

Oh, yeah and we still have $5000 more to go on that sucker. . . .  And it is a Saturn. :banghead:

You guys like to wreck them too. Your brother has gotten something like three speeding tickets for 55 in a 30.

I have a VUE... and they are completely re-designing them for 08.  They are also available in a Hybrid:

And waks, If it were me I'd go with the Rav4 over the Highlander... But do they make those in a V6, because IIRC my friend had a 4 cyl; it blew ass for HP and the Gas Mileage was horrible.

Unless you really need that little bit of extra room in the Highlander, go with the Rav4.  Looks better, cheaper, great mileage for a V6.   The Highlander looks like a minivan to me.
