Well, it's hard to beat my 1997 subaru outback - but it's 10 year old technology. The TCH has lots of bells and whistles - even the base model, and the stereo is to die for. And the power. But the subie was more comfortable to drive, and had greater visibility. The TCH seems to have a huge blind spot for me, and it's a bit disconcerting.

I love the fact that I'm not going to the gas station as often, and that I have power when I need it, and am saving gas to boot. I give the TCH the edge, but I sure loved my subie.
