Hello folks. My name is Enrique. I'm beginning my search for my next vehicle. I love the look of the m37 and would like to own one. I have been looking at the 2011-12 m37 and m37x. I would rather have the m37x due to living in Ohio and driving in the snow. This car would be my 1st non fwd car. If there is any advice or info you could share about this vehicle I would really appreciate it. If I make the purchase I would be going from a 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2.0 limted. Thanks in advance for your help.

I wouldn't be too hung up on AWD. It's nice to have, but with good tires, even RWD cars can be great in the snow (I used to have a Maxima before my M35x, so it was FWD not RWD...but it's all in the tires). I'd go on price...if it's worth the money, then AWD it, otherwise RWD is fine.

Yeah funny thing about it...I got AWD but then I don't take it out in the snow lol. RWD is slightly better on mpg than AWD. Lowering is a must on AWD in my opinion as it sits way to high. Drive both if you can.

I'm planning on taking both for a test drive this week. I will definitely be getting a pair of snow tires if I make this purchase. Doesn't matter if its AWD or RWD snow tires are a must have. Do you guys know of any common problems with these cars?
