Suitability in Michigan City & Similar Environment
Given Michigan City (assuming Indiana border region, near Lake Michigan), winters with snow, cold, salt roads:
The AWD option is valuable for traction.
Heated mirrors, possibly heated seats (if optioned), are quiet comforts.
The ride height and ground clearance are moderate enough for light snow, but deep snow or heavy offroad not ideal.
Reliability of the naturally aspirated engine likely beneficial in cold starts vs turbo which tends to require more attention.
