I'm looking at buying a 2007 Outlander that's still on the lot. There are quite a few in my area (Denver/Colorado Springs Colorado).
Not so many AWD. Maybe 3-4 or so. Less if you consider I don't want a white car. I have this image of going off the edge and no one finding me in a snow storm ..... OK back to the ?
Would FWD be good or should I really go for AWD? I do go up into the mountains in winter and on my current car I use AWD about 4-5 times a year (suburban Z71). Not to mention I get snow here in town too.
Feedback greatly appreciated from those crazies living where it just snows and snows and snows.
thanks

I've tried mine in both modes and I can't notice any significant difference in fuel ecomomy. I feel that 4WD is safer, so I leave it on 4WD Auto most of the time.
I always use it in the rain, also. If you need to accelerate fast and the front tires break loose, the traction control will cut the power. In AWD mode, you have all the traction and power you need.
