Remember, AWD get's you moving, but it doesn not help with braking, and it's just more weight. The xi suspension is also different as it sits a bit higher. Just something to consider, maybe it can broaden your search so it will be easier to find a car.
You are right - it is rare to find the 162 wheels on an xi and the car I was interested in had them. I would prefer an i, but I live in the mountainous area of Somerset County. If there's an inch of snow on the ground I'd be sliding down the mountain roads.
