This model does not have memory seat positions for the driver. My wife and daughter also drive the car and i'm annoyed when i must fix the seat positions.

I love this model. However I had to replace rear right shock assembly because oil leaking. I noticed that some unuaual banging sound when I cross over some step or safety block. I replaced it and I am happy now. Hopefully no other issues with my brand new car.

60 degree steep driveway Mountains of NC-ice-snow

A great value, safe car. I live on the side of a Mountain. The grade going up my drive is probably 60 degree along with a few curves. The car has amazing down hill assist to negotiate down steep hills and of course my drive. AWD and 4 wheel drive additional feature: just tried in the snow on my steep drive and did not slip once. I would highly recommend this car. I had 2 VW Touareg's, but they were not as reliable on the roads I travel as the 2016 Toyota in snow, ice and mountain terrain. The things I do not like about the car: I am 5'4 and getting positioned in the car means I am constantly moving the seat back and forth. When it rains, the configuration of the door and windows does not shed water when door is initially opened, steering is so fine tuned you don't feel the roughness of the road consequently ---takes a little getting use to...finally... I would like a more realistic back up camera (not a fish eye camera )- positioned where the rain drops and snow do not sit on camera lens distorting the backup view. But as far as safety, I will deal with the insignificant to enjoy the significant safety features. I need Safety first. The 2016 Highlander is a great value for the money and the safety features sold me 100%. .. " NC Mountains"
