I had a Nissan Xterra. It was too small to effectively pull my boat and got crappy gas mileage. I worked out a deal to borrow my father's van for the few times a year I actually tow the boat somewhere and traded the Xterra for the Accord Hybrid. with the HAH I get 30 mpg city vs 17 mpg in the Xterra. I enjoy driving the car more. It is more comfortable, quieter, smoother, handles better and has more acceleration.
