I am potentially looking at buying a new car in next coming months. I’m looking at the Nissan rogue because my current car is Nissan and I’ve been pleased with it for the past 12 years and I would like the extra room an suv has. The only thing I don’t like is that the majority of suvs are AWD. Nissan does make the rogue in FWD but I was only able to find 1 in my nearby dealerships. So it seems that if I want an suv I’m stuck with AWD or I have to stick with a sedan. For context, my first and current car is a 2012 Nissan versa.

Tldr: do the benefits of AWD and having an suv outweigh the downside of having to replace every tire if you get a flat in one with AWD. Or should I just try and stick with FWD?

    I live in colorado. But I’ve driven in snow and ice with fwd for years now and I’m used to it.

    Oh I didn’t know about that. That is pretty wasteful but I guess better than buying all new tires.

      Colorado is probably the second biggest market for Subaru after the North East and Quebec, that certainly should tell you something ;)
