This car was actually a hand-me-down from a family member after my last car was totaled. I was skeptical at first because I only ever drove small cars before, but I couldn't be happier with the way it handled. We get a lot of snow where I live, and the 4-wheel drive has never let me down. This car has over 340,000 miles on it (all highway) and only the bumper and fender have had to be replaced (due to accidents, no fault of my own). I would definitely consider buying the 2016 Highlander.

I personally think that thinking ahead versus right now is a better way to go into a dealership. I would have been happier with a van for my needs.
