Front-Wheel Drive Only A brief encounter with foul weather in the Chicago area has me second-guessing the four-cylinder model in this region. Very angery with Toyota and horrible Nav system. Time to fix this problem! Toyota is really asking for a Class-Action suit. I changes the piston arms but did not fix.
It saves a lot of gasoline in comparison with my Camry, especially, if you drive mainly in the city.
