My only real experience with 4wd was my grandfather's old subie wagon. This was back in the 80s. It was a late 70s model. One of the first subie 4x4s. On regular tires, thaat damn thing would go anywhere!
Today, most cars with fwd and traction control will get most anyone anywhere they need to get. If not, you really shouldn't be out anyway. The only way I could see buying one was if I lived in a very snowy, very hilly area AND I had the need to get out when things turn to sheet.
Also, not all TC is created equal. The OL's 2003 Odyssey is a beast in the snow. The TC makes it pull like it has a locked diff. My 2009 Sonata's TC is complete garbage. Most of the time, it just kills power. I have actually turned it off in disgust to be able to get up a hill.
