Re:differences in 4WD, AWD, full time 4WD
mn,
I think for the best handling vehicle in icy conditions I ouwld go with the subaru wagon. now before I get flamed here let me explain. the biggest problem with snow and ice driving is braking. it is a lot easier to stop a 3k vehicle than a 6k vehicle this is just simple math. remember that the full itme 4wd is basically an awd system adapted to a twin position transfer case. or the best of both worlds. as far as the safest vehicle I have worked in auto body for 4 years now and let me put it this way. if the roads are icy (not often in nw washington) the wife drives the 80.
