I have always owned small sports cars, but I have grown a little tired of the lack of space and I have considered vehicles that I'd want to own to replace my Mazda MX-6. I keep coming back to the 4Runner as my vehicle of choice--looks stylish, is reliable, has plenty of room, is safe if I'm in an accident, has great resale value, and can go nearly anywhere if I so choose. The down side is poor gas mileage and poor overall driving performance (compared to cars I've owned). My question is for those of you who have owned sporty cars before: did you regret buying your 4Runner and giving up some driving performance that you were used to?
