I will def test drive several cars with AWD and FWD.

Towing capacity isn't something I'm worried about, the only thing I would be putting on the car would be a bike rack and some bikes

I checked out Subaru and the impreza looks appealing. But all models are showing AWD... Even their legacys have AWD. And it looks like Subaru is using CVT transmissions too. I was hoping to get away from that because I don't care for it in my versa. Are different manufacturers implementation of CVT different? Or are all CVTs the same?

I grew up in a mountain town and have only ever had FWD cars, so I'm totally comfortable driving in snow and ice. I think I've only gotten stuck once. Thanks for the feedback, I'll continue my search!

I'm not really a fan of hatchbacks. But it looks like I'll need to rethink the car I'm going to get. My budget is also tight so I don't think I can afford vw, Volvo, or audi

That's sad to hear about Nissan. Like I said in my post, my first and current car is a versa and I've hardly had any serious issues with it. So I was assuming that their quality was still good. I do want ice and after reading these comments I have concluded that AWD is not worth it and I really don't need it. Unfortunately Subaru's are out of my price point. I'll check Mazda out I guess

Thank you for the input. This and the other comments have confirmed my thoughts that i don't need AWD.

I live in colorado. But I've driven in snow and ice with fwd for years now and I'm used to it.

Oh I didn't know about that. That is pretty wasteful but I guess better than buying all new tires.

I have only tried Genshin, but it runs fairly well. The biggest issue I've had is major stuttering when I'm playing on battery. Plugged in, there's no stuttering. Not sure why.

Oh really? Then why does it still need permission to run on Windows? I thought that was due to the anticheat ?

I was so surprised that I was able to get Genshin running on my steam deck through wine. I remember when the deck came out, everyone was saying that games that use anti cheat software wouldn't work on the deck. But both Genshin and Elden Ring work on the deck.

The major difference between fireworks and those other examples, is that fireworks directly affect others around you. In my city, people go out and buy the big fireworks that are illegal here because they go into the sky and make lots of sparks and they shoot them off in the city. Fireworks majorly affect all the animals in a pretty wide radius. Which is why I hate them, because the people have no respect for how much they are traumatizing the animals or how much they are affecting their neighbors. And don't forget they are a fire hazard.

This becomes more of an argument about peoples' irresponsible use of fireworks rather just the use of fireworks at this point.
