Here in the Pacific Northwest we wrapped up a couple weeks
of frigid temperatures. There were only scattered snow showers, but lots of
slick road conditions.
In a timely article, MSN.com published an article listing
some of the best used AWD vehicles for less than $10,000 that are the best for
wintery road conditions. There were a few Toyotas you might recognize on that
list, including some that are available at Burien Toyota as part of quality
pre-owned vehicle program:
·
2004-2005
Toyota Sienna. “There have been all-wheel-drive minivans before, but the Sienna takes the
most modern approach to all-weather family hauling. A 3.3-liter 230-horsepower
V6 engine motivates the Sienna with authority while delivering respectable 18
mpg city/24 mpg highway fuel economy.”
·
2004-2005
Toyota Matrix. “They are roomy, generate best-on-the-list gas mileage — 26
mpg city/31 mpg highway — but the 1.8-liter engine produces a trivial 123
horsepower. Only XR trim versions can be had with all-wheel drive.”
·
2001-2002
Toyota Sequoia. “The Sequoia runs Toyota's
4.7-liter V8 engine rated at 315 horsepower and 13 mpg city/17 mpg highway.
It's big on the outside as well as the inside, with 3-row seating to ensure
transportation of all manner of passengers and cargo. The available shift-on-the-fly
4WD ensures you're ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you.”
“These are all really fantastic used vehicles, especially
for winter driving here in the Puget Sound area,” said Ted Klarich, general
sales manager at Burien Toyota. “In the winter, we really don’t know what road
conditions are going to be from mile to mile; they can change so drastically.
This article by MSN shows you don’t have to spend a ton of money to get a car
that’s safe for winter driving. This great Toyotas will keep you and your
family safe for less than $10,000.”
