I never drove a SUV or AWD vehicles. So, I'm still not clear about choosing AWD vs. FWD for JX35.

Since living in California (bay area), AWD seems to be not must-have. So, I'm considering FWD.

But, what about the comfortableness or quietness for AWD? Is it better than FWD?

The AWD system is basically FWD in most of the time, only when it detects slipery soad conditions it will send power to teh rear well momentarily. It is a feature nice to have for safety reasons. Has nothing to do wiht confortableness and quietness. YOu will not notice it cause 99% of the time, it will not be used.

ON teh other hand, the new Pathfinder has a selector that allows you to select among FWD or AWD (all time). That's something the JX should have.

If you dont need the AWD just get the FWD model.
