For what it is worth..I live in Manitoba -35 deg C (-31F) today. I have a 2021 Seltos EX Premium AWD. I have studded winter tires and have no problem starting and stopping on icy back roads and deep snow, so I would suggest you and your wife could feel confident driving in the mountains if you have good tires. The AWD system on the Seltos works proactively unlike some AWD systems that react only after wheel spin occurs. The Canadian models have a few extra standard features depending on trim level. The EX premium has features like a heated steering wheel,heated washer nozzles, safe exit assist,mud guards,carpeted floor mats,remote start. But we only get the black interiors. The MSRP for my car was $30,595.00 cdn. You did a great video full of fun and useful information plus no wine bottles were harmed in the making of it!

The answer is easy. You're looking for something that isn't too fancy but has some nice touches. Something that has a little style all its own, and looks unique on the road. Something that fits a family, and can take you off-road without compromising on road. You're looking for something that won't break the bank. You drove the wrong Jeep. You need to look at a 2021 Jeep Cherokee (not Grand Cherokee) Trailhawk V6. It is all the vehicle anyone needs.

As for ignition coil, suspension parts and stuff like that are wear and tear that must be replaced in time to ensure the longevity of the engine.

Honestly, the Seltos just might be a little too small for you guys. When the little Muzio gets slightly older and has 'stuff' for 'activities' that rear area might not be enough. If you like the Kia, maybe look to the Sportage? From what's been said, Kia has finally made the Sportage more competitive with the CRV/RAV4 interior space-wise and as the owner of a Sorento, I can say that Kia's AWD system is reliable and sure footed.

As for the "cute" factor - any car is cute with Evie behind the wheel! (You're a lucky guy, Micah!)

According to Consumer Reports, the issues are with the IVT. I have the same transmission in my 2019 Kia Forte. What confuses me is Hyundai uses the same transmission in the Elantra and Kona, and the same issues are not being reported for theirs. Why would there be a difference? I don’t know how long this series will go on. I’ll be interested in see what Evie thinks of the upcoming Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. I’m really excited for the Tucson hybrid. Evie seemed more confident with this vehicle than the Jeep. I think she should check out the Honda Passport, the Subaru Forester/Outback, the Mazda CX-30/CX-5, Ford Escape Hybrid, and Toyota RAV4 Adventure.
