She does absolutely need four wheel, or all wheel (I'm still not clear on the difference) drive. Not any kind of big lifted "bro dozer" so she can "roll coal", but definitely something like her Subaru Outback. She makes many trips per year over our Cascade Range to see her sisters and her mother on the other side of the state, and she has never let winter weather deter her in the least.

An AWD/4WD minivan might be something she would be interested in. We have a two year old grand daughter and another one due in about two weeks, and we will certainly need the ability to ferry them about, along with a whole shi... er, I mean "van" load of their stuff. A string of Outbacks got us through those years with our own two boys, but, well, boys seem to need less support equipment...
Chrysler Pacifica. You can get them in AWD but ours is not. The seat heat/vent and steering wheel heat are on the touch screen, but if is is cooler than 40* the seat and wheel heat comes on automatically. Above 80* the seat vent comes on automatically. We keep the tools and such in the second row stow area.

For climate control and radio the buttons work great. Some have issues adjusting to the dial shifter, but it takes up less room.

The best we got was 33mpg which can get you nearly 600 miles on a tank (our fill up showed 585 miles to empty)
