I couldn`t imagine ever trading mine in for someting AWD. Even with all season tires being used as my winters (yes, I know...I just need them to wear out before getting good winter tires), I find the car very stable and easy to control on snow and ice. With a good set of winter tires, I`d only have to worry about ground clearance, which typically isn`t an issue.
