I own an 02 Highlander, and sometimes I get a knock when engine is under load, like going up a hill or when accelerating. This is engine knock caused by low octane gas. When I use a mid grade or premium octane, I do not get the sound at all. .

Would you buy a Toyota Highlander over a Nissan Pathfiner?

Yes, and the main reason is that the electrical system such as the alternator is in my opinion better in the Toyota than in the Nissan. Another consideration is that Toyota is a far more popular brand and the availability of spare parts is therefore better in all countries I know of. Both new and second hand spare parts.

Does Highlander 2006 does it have day lights?

To the best of my knowledge all Highlanders are equipped with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). In Canada they are required by law to be equipped with them HOWEVER - there is no indication what country you are writing from or what level of "trim" your Highlander is, and your particular model may not be, for one reason or another. Check your Owner's Manual if you still have it, or simply call your local Toyota dealer.
