I'm looking to buy a new SUV (my first new vehicle ever - whooohoo!!). Anyway, some of you own one I'm sure so I'd like some opinions. These are my current choices :

Right now I'm leaning towards the Highlander, mainly due to price and decent mileage. The Xterra is cheaper but all the reviews that I've read on it say it eats gas like Rosie O'Donnell at an all-you-can-eat buffet. And yeah, before anyone says it I'm a commie - I don't have much faith in American automobiles, I've been burned a few times aready. The Ford Explorer comes up occassionally as a reliable vehicle, however.
Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions?
