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. She drives it all week commuting to her bank job 4 miles away, she gets 22. She is always late leaving for work, so she drives it like she stole it and still gets 22. You won't get that with any 4wd.
Now, my farm pickup is 4wd and I would NOT own a 2wd pickup. I'm constantly engaging 4wd, but I am off-road more often than she is.
Oh, and our driveway is 1800 feet long with a big ditch in the middle. I get stuck pushing it out with the skid steer more often than she gets stuck driving it.
