The winters in upstate NY are brutal... and my M3 has 2 doors... DCT.... great car but not a year round DD! (For me at least)

Thank you all for the ideas! To my list, I am adding a CPO Cadillac ATS and a CPO Chevy SS.

Ok, sorry. For some reason I thought i was browsing the F80 forum when I came across
your thread, so I assumed you had a 4dr already.

Those requirements and AWD is basically a niche owned and operated by Subaru. Although if you're willing to compromise on transmission there's any number of BMW xdrives that now fit the bill.

You're getting a bunch of recommendations for cars that seem pretty awful for the snow...but of course I'm from FL so what do I truly know

Genesis G70 seems like a good bet. Will probably have a better value proposition over the other luxury makes, while being more reliable. Still fun enough and luxurious enough for daily use.

If you need a backseat, there's zero contest.

I assumed he'd run winter rubber, good winter rubber is brilliant.
