Got to disagree about that. I've owned a number of 4WD vehicles - several pre-1985 Subarus and a couple of Toyota pickups - and have never had a 4WD-related problem. I admit I don't use it much - the steep half-mile of packed snow down to my friends' ranch in winter, a few trailheads at the ends of steep, rough dirt, up the mountain to ski in a snowstorm, &c - but when I do, it's usefull, not a security blanket.
