My wife can be hard to please when it comes to cars. I usually buy what I like...lol. Well, we both love the MB. She brags on it everyday especially in the snow. Of course when the snow gets too deep she drives the back up car a Tahoe. But, she would just as well be in the MB... Now to be fair to Mazda, the reason she drives the Tahoe when the snow is deep, is because she took the Mazda thru deep enough snow to damage the front bumper cover. So, no pushing snow with the MB... I am sure their bumper covers are just as expensive. LOL.....
