The $4000.00 that AWD owners paid was not only for a transfer case, front tail shaft & differential & drive shafts, but also for the Dynamic Stability Control system. Add all these items up & that seems like very good value to me.

Subaru have known the benefits of AWD for years, that’s why there most powerful sports cars have it as standard.
Nissan has also known the benefits, remember the GTR Godzilla? It blitzed everything at the races; CAMS eventually changed the rules making it illegal for the race team to use AWD.

I agree with the RWD supporters; for ‘steady as she goes’ city driving RWD is perfectly fine, and the Territory RWD is set up so well that experienced drivers can easily push it to the limit and have a safety margin.
But for anything else, read the quotes.
