No worries here. I ain't going back to a Forester like my '03 and sold my mom's '06 Legacy with 22,000 miles on it. It once got stuck in snow with one front and one rear wheel spinning. Must not have had the AWD system CR tested.

For marginally? better snow performance which I don't need I get a 4 cylinder engine, a CVT, and have to buy four new tires if one goes bad. :egad:NO THANKS!

Aren't those two totally different drive systems? One is full time 4WD and the other part time/as needed?

Yep, that's exactly why like ours.

As for buying four new tires for the Subaru when one goes bad, I read that a new tire can be shaved to conformed to the ones on the vehicle. It's done at speed shops.

That sounds real smart - buy a new tire and have half the tread ground off! :doh:
