Possible deal breaker

[Blackbeagle1]

So in the last week or so in pricing out a KT, I've determined that I don't want to spend $50K on a new SUV, especially when I'm also trying to move into a new house. With that said, something low to mid 40s will do the trick. So what I would like is price out an EX with 4WD, Nightfall and premium. My ONLY reservation is my wife will not give the thumbs up due to the EX not having memory seats. She absolutely hates that. Her 2004 Nissan Murano came with it. My 2014 Pathfinder SL has it. But her 2018 Crosstrek doesn't have it. And now it appears that the EX doesn't have it either. Is this true? I'm almost 90% sure it is. But would like confirmation. Because it could be a deal breaker for us. We may hold off to see if the 2022 will add that feature.

We test drove EX several weeks ago - can confirm that it does not have memory seats. Pretty sure only SX does.

Pg 19 under Seating & Trim. SX only.

That being said, an SX (non-Nightfall) is not that much more than an EX Premium w/ Nightfall. Aprox $1500.

Go for a SX FWD. Price will start at $42K

Seems like it's the nightfall there that's running you up? How about an SX without the extras?

I live in MN so I would require AWD. After much considerations, I may skip the Nightfall for the SX. Nightfall looks badass though.

Go for it. We were in the exact same decision process as you. Stepping up to a non-Nightfall SX is a wise choice, especially when you consider the EX Premium charge includes upgraded 20” wheels you’ll never receive while paying even more for Nightfall package with different alloy wheels.

Also in MN and have had ours for about five days. Yesterday was a terrible time to be without our garage (waiting on new door) but the vehicle handles great in these conditions.

Howdy Neighbour! Ontario here. Definitely an AWD situation!
