Well, she’s off-road capable

We’re up in the mountains for our anniversary and after dinner decided to go to a winery.
The gps sent us down this worse than a logging road that was barely as wide as the car, in the rain with some 6” deep mud and a ravine on one side about 30’ down.

I used the crawl mode because she kept locking up and sliding and the car did very well.

It also took through this deliverance style camp.

I go backpacking and mountain biking a lot, and I'm still impressed at what our M35i has gotten me up. It's not as quick or brainless as our old Crosstrek was on forest roads, but I haven't run into anything so far that some careful driving couldn't get over

I think this helped sway me too:

It did better than I thought, given its ground clearance is not that much!
