 AWD Sedan Recommendations

I have driven rental Toyota Highlanders and I have found them easy to drive and maneuver. The interiors seem a little cheesey on the rental editions I had, but overall a very nice car. I have also driven the Mercedes ML320, a nice vehicle, the one I had a small amount of additonal road feel in it than a Highlander, and I believe if you had problems with the Highlander you will have the same ones with the Mercedes Wink yeah right

Maybe one of those Little Cars would fit the bill Smile

When I first met my wife she would always take her turns to tight, onetime creasing the whole side of her sisters van. I warned her as she was doing it, and she even denied doing it after I showed her the crease down the whole side of the car. For years I would tell her to swing wide, I guess after years of the that she finally got it and had no problem driving a Tundra Access cab truck for couple of years.

Not sure about that, they do look real but I cannot imagine who would want to spend the money to build such weird toys Wink yeah right

I don't recommend roaming around that domain, it looks kinda sleazy!

Acura has an RL AWD ($46 k ouch!) but it is way more expensive than I imagined, 8K more than the already out of my league Volvo which is $38 k.

I f my wife was banging up the car I would get her a econobox like a Honda Civic, the new Civics look great have best in class visibility but just FWD.

Ken,

I think Toyota made the Matriix in AWD last year. Its a four door hatchback nice and small, low cost high mileage too!

Its a little homely in my opinion, so I never considered it, might be perfect for your wife though, the rear window is small.

The last year the Matrix had AWD was 2006, I guess most people in the AWD market want something the size of a Rav4 or a Honda CRV.

But if you are looking for used you may be in luck.

I have driven the Highlander and it is a very nice vehicle, I am very skeptical as to whether a change of vehicles will make much if any difference in your spouses driving record Smile Odds are in your favor that nothing will happen even you keep the car now Wink yeah right

At one time my wife had 3 deer accidents in less than 18 months, wheras I have driven probably 10 times the miles she has and have never hit a deer. You win some you lose some.

You might be even more unhappy having sold the Highlander only to end up with the same result, if you really have not solved the root cause.

Ah but its only a car they come and go quite easy Wink yeah right
