Thoughts? I live in a wintery biome so having awd gives me a bit of peace of mind

Driving in snow is about more than just stopping power. I live in the country and driving through snow drifts can sometimes mean two wheels end up in ice conditions and two on dry pavement. Improved traction helps in this case as well.

Totally. That’s why I just edited my comment to include that “make the best choice for your needs” bit.

I live in New Jersey, so I have a some experience driving in snow, but not as much as you probably do.
