10 Reasons to Buy a Crossover Instead of a Sedan

3. Better in Adverse Conditions

Not many mainstream sedans offer the traction-enhancing advantage of all-wheel drive. The Ford Fusion, Chrysler 200 and of course Subaru Legacy are three that come to mind. But if you cast a lust-filled gaze toward the crossover segment you’ll notice that practically all of them offer this feature. When you couple this with greater ground clearance these utility vehicles become quite useful in adverse conditions. Go ahead, laugh at that thunderstorm bucketing rain on you, scoff the washed-out dirt road your sibling lives down and flip Old Man Winter the bird, with all-wheel drive you’re ready for practically anything. Except black ice; it’s not going to help you there.
