Smile Edge Engine Question

Hello All,
I am new to the forum, considering purchasing an edge have a question about the two available engines.

How reliable is the Twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 turbocharged engine?
Is it better to go with the 3.5L (Ti-VCT) V6 Engine as far as reliability and less problems over the long run?

As well any thoughts on FWD versus AWD? I am in a climate where we get snow and ice. Will good winter tires with FWD be fine... The car will be for mainly city driving.

Thank You!

Although new to the forum myself. The 2.0L I4 has been rated one of the top 10 engines currently in production. It is the reason I chose the 4cyl over the 6cyl. As for FWD vs AWD, I believe that a good FWD vehicle is virtually as good as an AWD vehicle anyway. If you are primarily in the city, I see no particular advantage to AWD and you will have better fuel economy with the 4 cyl and not having AWD is less moving parts to worry about or maintain, etc. Just my two cents.
