4wd on a commuter vehicle is unnecessary. It's a waste of money buying it, and a waste of gasoline driving it.
My wife has a 2009 Ford Escape front wheel drive with the 4 cylinder engine. I put snows on the front at the beginning of winter. That thing will go anywhere a 4wd with all season tires will go.
