And the key word there is "minimal"

 

Thanks everyone for all of the information - you've sold me!

Unfortunately, the car salesmen at both Kirkland and Fife have not. They have a stockpile of cars sitting on their lot, not moving, but they seem stuck at offering me 1.5% above invoice before the manufacturer incentives ($1k manufacturer to customer bonus & 0.9%/3k incentive). Their offer is decent, but I know they can do better, so it's unfortunate that they are unwilling to budge at all on their offer price.

 

Drive to so-cal, I'll hook you up

 

+1 on the X.

It's nice to have the extra traction in the rain.

Not many deals from local dealers. I had mine shipped up from CA.

 

For

Right climate for AWD

All season stability

Climate that gets rain and not much snow is perfect for AWD, actually climates that get snow can be a blast.

Against

Tires on Xs are too narrow and effect cornering

Heavier than 2 wheel drive version and somewhat slower.

Park the car in the snow
