My daughter drives a 2004 RAV-4 AWD. Can traction be improved by buying better snow tires? (She misses her '99 Mountaineer which was great in the snow, but had terrible mpg.) I searched the site and didn't find anything posted. Does this mean that everyone's happy with their traction? Ned - Massachusetts

This is suburbs/highway, say 60/40, in a state with winter gas (penalty 2+ mpg, I've found). I have a light foot. All day on the interstate, I top 28 mpg. It was e.p.a. rated 22/27, I think. I'm satisfied. The new 2.4L RAVs are e.p.a. rated about the same, I think, even with the bigger engine. Getting more efficient, I guess. Good luck.

I hear the Rav4 is getting a face lift, has it already happened or coming?
