Stinks in the snow
 I have 2008 Avalon Limited.  I have Blizzak snow tires on it but this car totally stinks in the snow.  The traction control prevents me from applying torque to the drive wheels when going up a hill. I live in NE Ohio and this just stinks.  Other than that I love this car as it is very comfortable, but this is my second winter with this car and I have had enough of this nonsense in the snow.  The situation is quite dangerous.  Would be OK if it had a switch to disable traction control like in my 04' Sienna.  I will probably get rid of the Avalon for this reason - I should have bought an AWD car.  I would not recommend this car for this reason.
