I only have 44,400 kilometers on my 5 year old 2013 Highlander and it will do unless I give up towing a boat. Then a nice new RAV4 truck or a Subaru Forester will take care of my needs. |

Why change vehicles when you stop towing a boat? Just drive the highlander till it gets old and dies. Save a lot of Loonies. |

Think Boston on a smaller scale. A Subaru Forester had great visibility and it's smaller footprint would make parking etc a bit easier around town. |

But since I think the gas motor just supply’s an electrical supply to electric drive motors, and super quiet, never notice the motor turning of. I think there is always enough battery to get going when the gas motor turns off. |

It was a ploy to raise overall fueled economy and cut pollution. Didn’t go over well. I see Jeep is offering it as well as offering a solution if you want out. |

I asked the salesman about it he snapped back “Don’t touch it- just leave it alone!” Oh-Kay Never did know what it did. |

I only have 44,400 kilometers on my 5 year old 2013 Highlander and it will do unless I give up towing a boat. Then a nice new RAV4 truck or a Subaru Forester will take care of my needs. Low miles for sure. The liquor store must be close to you house. Walking distance...how close is it "to you house"? |

It was only a couple of years old, so it ran fine. We had a blast with it, driving all over Italy. Of course, it was before we had kids although Mrs.E. was pregnant with our first. Don't know if this will work, but I'll give it a try: http://oi66.tinypic.com/vr90uu.jpg Closest I came to owning a Fiat was my 4 door Lada sedan. It was based on the Fiat 124. Seems the Fiat people sold the rights to the Russians to build their copy. Mrs E looks right at home over there with that Italian sports car. |

GM tried the 4-6-8 feature too where they started blocking off cylinders and that went away pretty fast too. |

I considered "youse" but that would fall short of a typo. See if you can catch the mistake in this post. It's a lot harder. |
