The 2006 HAH replaced our 94 Toy 4X4 PU. I discovered the minivan was adequately covering the hauling role of the PU and the 4WD wasn't really needed. For the 4 days a year it snows, I'll stay home and play with the kids. The PU was really a plain ol' commuter that got 20-22 mpg.

The HAH is safer, drives better, gets better mileage and is much more comfortable. The most cost effective decision would have been the 4cyl Accord - but the HAH is way more fun. I've only managed to put 3500 miles on it so far and have enjoyed them. First time our family has gotten a new car that I've been able to wrestle from the wife in the car's first 5 years.
