Replying to How necessary is AWD
I live in Wisconsin, and I need a new car, I do travel out of state to snowier areas (out west and the UP) fairly often, I currently have the beloved van but she is a thirsty girl and I need a car with better gas mileage for my 30 mile daily commute. The van is FWD with A/T tires and honestly slays in the snow, but part of me wants to get something all wheel drive like a forester or a rav4 or something along those lines. But for the sake of cost, gas mileage, and possibly getting like a hybrid hatchback or something I am considering looking towards another FWD car and just getting gnarly tires for it. Part of me still feels an AWD might be better just to have even tho its a little more costly. But snow has been shit up here the past few years and we have maybe 1 or 2 days per winter where roads are fully covered in more than 2 inches of snow.
