Picked up my PP a couple days ago after 6 months of research, test driving (most multiple times for a good distance) Q5, X5, Mecan, new blazer rs, grand cheokee trail hawk etc. kept coming back to the PP. The you tube videos on its off road credentials were the final thing that convinced me. that is one capable awd system. With studded winter tires I have no doubt it will serve me well in winter too. As to some commenting on the "firm" ride I came from a 2017 camaro ss* so to me it's quite plush.*My needs changed so I moved from the performance vehicle as I wanted towing ability in addition to other things.
