Default Considering: 2017 QX50 3.7/7A awd...

Im considering one. Things that appeal:

I liked the 3.7 in my 370z. This has same.
No turbos or sc. Vq37 pretty reliable. Has a chain not a belt. Etc.
54/46 weight dist


Questions:

How is the awd in these? Specifically high speed handling, wet, snow, ice? Is it a durable system?

Concerns:

Automatics suck. Ive only taken one past 100k miles without needing a teardown or replacement.How is the 7A? I drove onenin a 370z and it was super cumbersome. Shitty programming. Hopefully by 2017 they have improved this? Is it a "fill for life ", or is there a drain plug and PM schedule? Are they generally reliable?


All other info and experience welcome.
