Are AWD vehicles worth the money?
Answer: There are many reasons to consider buying an AWD vehicle, and a few of these points may help you in your decision.
First, there are many affordable, fuel economy AWD vehicles on the market today. Many are very comparable in price to other vehicles with similar options. Even if you are looking at a more expensive model, it may make better sense to buy AWD, particularly if it is your only or primary vehicle.
Additionally, AWD vehicles are not just for snow & ice. They are also useful when roads are less than ideal, such as in rain, puddles, leaves, sand, and gravel. AWD vehicles give you an edge in traction and therefore, an edge in safety.
So does that mean an AWD vehicle is the only answer? Not necessarily. Your tires have a lot to do with the performance of your vehicle during winter conditions. If you are happy with your current vehicle, try swapping out your tires for a quality set of snow tires. You will notice a huge difference. However, overall AWD vehicles will be much easier to drive in winter conditions. I hope this helps in answering your question.
