I was knocking the overweight SUVs that tend to be what gets 4/AWD.

In a small or midsized car it can be as great as I said. The only real knock against AWD is that while it's better than FWD, FWD isn't actually bad so AWD doesn't give you all that much- I've never decided to stay home because I "only" had FWD.

My Subaru had the "symmetrical" AWD, which I think was all 4, all the time.
