YACT: What should I know about AWD cars?

I've been impressed with my Subaru Impreza, although in AZ I have not had much of an opportunity to make use of the AWD.
 
Sorry if its off topic... I'm 17 and own a 1995 Ford Bronco. Just today I went to visit a neighbor on a deep sand dirt road... (and had just rained 3 in.) Getting there the first time was a PAIN. The truck wanted to slide everywhere. On my way back I thought to use 4WD and it wasn't a problem at all... In fact, it was some awesome fun 😀

Yes I know 4WD doesn't equal AWD. But it is definitely nice to have all 4 wheels working for you at times.

If you can pick up an Mitsubishi EVO7 that would do the job well.

He's in california, no easy access to an older model evolution, and I'm pretty sure you can't pick one up used in good condition for under 10K
 
If you are getting something for snow, how about you get something with decent ground clearance??? Oh and if you can find an any year EVO for 10k that is even barely drivable, you will get a cookie from me.

True, you could not get a good EVO at that range. I guess he would have to get a scooby then.
 
READ THIS CAREFULLY

a front-drive car, with a $250-$300 set of SNOW tires, will beat the living sh|t out of an AWD car with all-season tires on it

And what about someone like myself with good snows all around on an AWD car? 😛 I'd be the one pulling you out of the ditch

All-season radials are typically not meant for anything other than very light snow...don't recommend them on anything with significant snowfall.
 
I didn't think I needed to state the obvious about awd w/snows being better than FWD with snows. I was merely pointing out the tire issue to those whom it may not be so obvious to.
