Toyota 4Runner - 2005 Review

When it was time to get a new car I thought I knew what I wanted, and the 4-Runner wasn't it. I test drove a lot of other SUV's, but didn't really LOVE any of them. I reluctantly test drove the 4-Runner and immediately fell in love. It is comfortable, and surprisingly fun to drive - doesn't feel like you're driving an SUV. It is peppy and turns on a dime. It's also very quiet, not a lot of road noise. I have a V8 all-wheel-drive. Didn't think the AWD would be something that I'd really need, but can't imagine not having it now. I've never had a problem getting through snow, even snow that's over a foot deep. It also has a traction control system that senses what tires are not gripping and sends more power to the tires that have more traction - because I've this, I've never "fishtailed". My husband doesn't like this feature because he likes to play in the snow and it won't let him do donuts :-)
