 Consumer's Reports gives this car a "Recommended" and I totally agree.  Although it is not on par with a $50k luxury SUV, it is a good, solid, comfortable car.  For the money, I think you would have a hard time finding anything comparable.  I've only put 500 miles on the car since I bought it, but it seems to handle very well, and has plenty of pep for freeway driving and passing.  If the long-term reliability meets Toyota's legendary standard, then it will be one heck of a great buy.500
