Hello everyone! Just picked up a 2020 Eclipse Cross base model with the SAWC as living in MI, I want my wife to have AWD dealing with the snow and ice. This is replacing a 2008 Subaru Tribeca that has became the largest headache possible.

It's an interesting little crossover, but glad it's the wife's and not mine

Hi @MrJEHowley. Welcome to the forums. Just out of curiosity, what are you driving these days?

I looked at an Xterra when they first came out, but I was put off by Nissan's short warranty. I went with a Mitsubishi Montero Sport and never looked back.

I bought the Xterra used, so didn't care about warranty, and for off-road/outdoor type use, the Xterra will run circles around the Montero. For drive-ability around town, would take the Montero any-day though.
