 As a 40-plus year driver and car owner, I have owned many, many cars, including Fords, Lincolns, Mercurys, a Honda, Chevy, Pontiac, and Acura. This is my first Toyota, and I'm sorry I waited so long. I bought it as a used vehicle based on Toyota's reported reliability, and the car has been a surprise. It amazes me every time I get in it how comfortable it is, how safe, and how well it handles. Toyota crammed this thing full of gadgets, as well as cup holders. There are cup holders everywhere.  Too bad I don't drink that much. The gadgets - from the navigation system to the back-seat heat controls to the back hatch opener - are impressive. But I've been driving Ford Escapes the last 10 years, so there's that.
