Maybe. My 98 Passat Tdi gave me 85k trouble free miles and I flogged that thing senseless all over europe (company car). Didn't even have to replace a lightbulbAnd it would enrich some happy mechanic repeatedly.

I had similar issues in my XJ (Jeep Cherokee), particularly when it went from normal road surfaces to patches of snow and ice. There were definitely a few panic-grabs for the 4wd lever, and as great as it was in deep snow, it sucked for light snow/rain/etc where I wasn't comfortable using the 4wd 100% of the time.They don't make an awd pathfinder and the 4wd is not recommended for dry roads.
I won't get out of my cousin's driveway with just fwd LOL!Depending on how much/deep snow you drive in (and how steep the hills are), I wouldn't rule out FWD. Obviously if you're regularly driving in 6" of snow, get AWD.
use IAB's subie.I won't get out of my cousin's driveway with just fwd LOL!
Because, as a society, we are trained to be concerned about it.I'm curious as to why some people are so worried about having a car with a lot of power.
because passing people is awesome and being able to get out of hazardous situations when you want to is good?Because, as a society, we are trained to be concerned about it.
Hmmm... sounds like a societal thing.because passing people is awesome
Smart driving will get you out more often than excess power.and being able to get out of hazardous situations when you want to is good?
When you're ready to buy - the dealers will find you one.So the 6cyl may be off the table.
I live in a very mountainous area and often travel on secondary roads - power comes in handy. Plus the speed limit is 75.I'm curious as to why some people are so worried about having a car with a lot of power.
I've found myself in plenty of situations where having adequate power to pass somebody could have eliminated a situation rather than prolonging it. You don't have to drive like a bat out of hell all of the time, but being able to pass an "at-risk" driver, quickly, beats the hell out of waiting for him or her to finish her text before slowly creeping by. The combination of passing power and a smart driver is good, just extra power is bad....mmmkayHmmm... sounds like a societal thing.

Passing in my car is all kinds of fun. It's like a game. Goes something like this:because passing people is awesome and being able to get out of hazardous situations when you want to is good?
you say that like it's a bad thing.Your husband is going to be overdosed on porn and malt liquor when you get back.
sell privately! seriously, when i was looking at a trade-in value for my car, i was getting low balled at every corner. i sold the car privately on craigslist and pulled in 150% of what the dealers were offering meUpdate: dealer didn't
Give me what I want for my car so when I get back from vacation I'm going to another dealer. Bastids!
i'm sorry to hear that, IAB.You're gonna have to wait for daylight for better pics
IAB's next to mine (it looks so small! - that's what she said)
I think I need a cigarette after reading that...Meaning no disrespect MBC... I just couldn't resist.
Ahhh.... a bit jealous of the bourgeoisie?YAY rampant American consumerism!!!!!!!!!!
