Unfortunately the AM has no AWD, so it's useless in any area that gets
snow.


Do you really need AWD in areas that get snow? We get 150-250 inches per
year and front wheel drive or LSD (limited slip differentials) has worked
great for the last 25 years.

Carmel gets 40 inches a year, a "blizzard" there is 22 inches. Call in the
Unimogs!

Do you consider that serious snow?

Ever have to use 4 wheel chains and caterpillar weights because the truck
couldn't push through snow deeper than the windows?

You've lived there about a year, the only time in your life outside of NYC
so now you're an expert.

The thing useless in snow is your driving ability and experience.

It's so funny when someone speaks out...and then sounds even dumberer
than poor Donal about cars!
So let's see...this poor clown thinks AWD is all about snow
accumulation! Oh boy! Probably if the poor toad drove the 2.4 mile
road up into Kent Cliffs where my house is located he'd know that a
easy dusting stops most FWD cars. Everyone here has AWD without
exception because of the hilly terrain.
Now...should I teach him about AWD in a performance car and what
advantages it offers?
Naaahhh!!!


R&T tests.....Aston Martin Skidpad DB9 = .93
And the Evo X pulled a FULL G!!!!!

Does a KIA Sedona have AWD?

Let me know when you get to mountainous terrain.

14" ground clearance?

Granny low and differential locks?

8' snowplow?

I'm sure the EVO and Astin are very nice cars. I couldn't drive either
to my front door, their bottoms wouldn't survive the road, never mind my
driveway.

I don't have a Kia Sedona anymore. We traded it for a SUV. With 50K
miles on it the Sedona was the only trouble free car I owned. I'm
picking up an Outlander XLS for Suzanne, so we'll see how it compares.

Stunning resale value! And you said you were going to keep it for years!

At least you made lemonade with the lemons!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

You're right, and as I explained to the late Bob Crantz, the Sedona
was fantastic. When sold we got 17,500.00 for it and never had to pay
a dime except for gas. Even the oil was paid by Kia. So we lost 10K
after 54K miles or so. Now the same year Sienna with the same options
would have brought us about 3K more on resale, but it would have cost
4.5K more to buy. So we saved over the Sienna and got a better van
with the best safety record available.
Lemonade indeed, sir.

Never said any such thing. I rarely keep a car more than two or three
years. I've owned 4 new cars in 4 years and am buying two more in a
week. I have a contract on a GT-R as well. Why does this worry you so?
