Just keep an eye on the tires. I know someone with an 06 and he got the sport package with the 19 in wheels. They are summer tires and the car just won't go in the snow, AWD be damned. So you still need a set of winter tires.


What about a BMW? The 330XI's are pretty nice. Mercedes newer 4Matic system is also excellent.
