Congrats TC!
Can it actually turn though, being a 'murican car and all?

Thanks!
I personally think the handling is quite good. Ive been driving my parents Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Murano during the past few years so I dont have much experience with many different brands.
But this one has wide/fat 18" Pirelli run flat tires which handled like a champ in bad weather conditions these last few months

Be careful with this 
What are the exact measurements? It's on the side of the tyre; mine are 225/40R18 for example (18" diameter, 225mm wide, thickness of 0.40 * 225 = 90mm...or 8.86" wide and 3.54" thick in fake units ).
Wide and flat tyres do work great on dry surfaces. But in snowy conditions, you're better off with a thicker tyre; which has to be narrower as well to not fuck up your speedometer. You've got AWD so that obviously helps a lot, but don't overestimate the grip of those things in the winter, especially not in those winters you get in NYC 
With my silly little 9cm thick tyres I don't have to try hard at all to erm...take advantage of slippery weather |

But that's available for other brands as well - it's a safety measure after all. |

That and how are the interior finishes?  |
Not bad actually. Not as much plastic as a lot of american cars Ive seen such as Chevy. I will post more detailed pics of the inside!
