  1. I searched the forums, but wanted to ask a question and try and get some confirmation.  I bought a 2009 DJ FWD 4cyl new off the lot, and I've been extremely happy with it, with one exception.  I live on a steep hill, and with even a little snow, I can't even start to climb it.  I have tried snow tires, and chains, even tried to go backwards with chains to keep the weight on the drive wheels, and nothing got me up the hill.  There is a used 2017 DJ SXT AWD, and I'd love to buy it, but I'm concerned that I might have the same issue.  Can anyone tell me if my concerns are justified, or if I should roll the dice and get it before the snow comes?  FYI, I have 2 roommates, one with a very old subaru forrester, and another with a newer subaru sedan, and they both get up the hill on snow and ice like it was a sunny summer day.

     

    Thanks!
