whoa, not to argue- but I am in upstate new york so I think my perspective is relevant. ---> I too used to think I needed awd (Upstate NY is like a Subaru heaven -they are everywhere ) Anyway, don't get me wrong awd is great in the winter but this year and last year I was in a BMW 3 series. I was VERY nervous going into winter but to my surprise....
I didn't get stuck or fly off the side of the road. EVER. Really? Yes, Really.

Was I doing 100mph on the Thurway in the middle of a blizzard? no, but then again, I drive conservatively even in an AWD car. -in fact in some ways I think the AWD makes you overconfident. but I digress....

-The key is a good set of tires (Blizzaks rock) and traction control.
