I looked at the SX4 right when it came out, and didn't get it because you had to get a slushbox with awd.

If I was to go awd right now I'd first want a Toyota Celica All Trac Turbo. Yea they are old, but they were so amazing. Or an old Eclipse GSX, Audi or Subaru 2.5 RS. Used wrx's are getting reasonable as well.

If I had real money though I'd prolly go Lambo or Porsche.

You only have two choices under $20K in the US. Which is my limit.

Base Suzuki SX4 AWD wagon $17K

Base Subaru Impreza - MT $17.5K

I'd have to go with the Subaru. Though I have no need or desire for AWD. FWD + snow tires = plenty of traction. I don't need the added cost and less gas mileage of an unnecessary feature.

Sure some people may need it if they are out in the middle of nowhere way up north and need to drive through a lot of un-plowed roads.

That's because real Jeeps don't have "stupid dash knob based electronic on-the-fly shifting systems!"

I want a simple REAL manually shifted locked 4WD for REAL off-road.

In case you are wondering what a real Jeep looks like, here's an example...

Unfortunately they also get horrible MPG.

Our facility used to have 2000-ish Grand Cherokees. They were arse-kicking rockets on the mountain. I was so sad when we started replacing them with the newer Grand Cherokees and found out that they changed them into flaccid soccer-mom cruisers.
