Funny you should mention this since I feel like I'm constantly replacing the blades on ALL of our cars. I got so frustrated that I went on Consumer Reports a few weeks ago to do a little research. To my amazement, they said they no longer review replacement blades because they found that no matter the cost or quality of the blade, they all degrade VERY rapidly after about six months (basically just buy whatever you want). I then went to Amazon and placed a subscribe-and-save order of Bosch blades which will arrive every six months. Easy fix...

My RAV 4 doors don't sound hollow, however, they don't sound as solid as the German cars. How do you guys like the driving dynamics of the highlander, when I test drove it last, it felt a little underpowered.
Did you guys look at any luxury CPO's and what made you go with the highlander. reliability?

Driving dynamics on the HL are fine. It's very car-like and it's quick enough if you step on it. FWIW, my Hemi-powered '14 Grand Cherokee Overland has nearly 100 more horsepower but doesn't feel much quicker, though weight is surely a factor and it defaults to eco-mode, keeping the car on 4cyl much of the time.
We wanted a 3rd row and low payments so we snagged a leftover '16 right when the '17s were rolling in. We leased it since we won't need three rows for very long. We didn't look at anything luxury but I have yet to come across a person saying they've had a trouble-free Mercedes and I will tell you my BMW experience was less-than-stellar (being very nice) from a reliability standpoint.
