There are not enough meaningful differences between these cars to warrant ranking them. Each owner of one of these is going to like the one they choose to like the best. For that owner, that car will be the best.

Drive to any area that gets deep snow in the Snowbelt or mountains and Subaru is one the most popular brand on the road other than 4WD trucks. I would take AWD all day every day over mediocre Cherokee 4X4.

I know why you say that is because either you work at the Subaru plant in Lafayette Indiana or work for a company that works with them and they also make the Toyota Camry. That’s the reason you see so many because they are made there. Drive to Toledo all you see is Jeep why because they are made there.

Seems here in the Pacific Northwest they issue you a Subaru when you establish residency.

No, don't work at Subaru, but have toured their plant and many other competitors. I have driven many different brands and test driven many types of vehicles. Subaru outperforms Jeep for the overall price in bad weather driving, which is where the vast majority of drivers operate vehicles- not on an off road scenario like a Jeep Wrangler, that is a niche market. Toledo isn't the Snowbelt either. Try Rocky Mountains, Cascades, northern Great Lakes, Alaska, northern New England, northeast Ohio, western New York, etc.

But Kia, Ford, Chrysler, and Nissan were not included in the review.

Still would like to hear the explanation how Motor Trend is biased towards Honda.

This is funny. Colorado has twice the snow, and Mountains!

And for a good reason as Subaru offers probably the best AWD vehicles around.

They continue to set sales records and offer excellent value: https://www.kbb.com/new-cars/5-year-...ds/best-brand/

Only problem is with Jeep, you wouldn’t be driving it much as it spends most of the time in the shop due to recalls, fires, etc.
