opinion on 2015 -200

OK so what I'm hearing is the 200 with a v6 is worth looking at. I have one close to me and it's an AWD car which is a bonus as we live where it snows that I bet I can pick up for around 17k.
I didn't know the transmission used in the 200 was widely used. I'm not apposed to a 4 banger as this will be an around car for the wife. He current Honda is a VTEC and does just fine.
The Hondas are still going to be looked at as they have been good to us in the past.
The Chevys are there just to see if the wife likes them.
Mazda is not high on my list as some of my family have purchased them and they all had rust problems. Good cars but rusty.
Might have to add the Fusion just to see if she like the way it drives
