Great snow performance in the 2026 AWD

I'm in the Chicagoland area and we've had a foot of combined snow during the past week.

I have the 2026 XLE AWD that I upgraded from a 2016 Corolla (FWD, obviously.)

The difference is monumental, and I don't even have snow tires. I know there are other makes/models that perform even better, but I am so thoroughly impressed. I feel safe.

Going back to my car history, I used to have a 2000 Volvo v40 in grad school and that was a beast in the show. The Camry is basically the same.

Looking at snow tires now, but will probably hold off until early January.
