Wicked.
AWD system that works very occasionally in helping the car understeer even more than it should, whilst just weighing the car down the rest of the time and lowering economy with its' "dead weight".
I can only assume that you thought the AWD ability would help with traffic-light Grand Prix's when in reality the weight will be more of a penalty. Perhaps it would stand less chance of getting stuck in the snow for the 4-5 days a year in this country it actually does snow?
Probably not. Most of these cars are equipped with big, fat, wide tyres which are about as useful in the snow as a slick racing tyre, compacting the ice. All you'll gain is more momentum before inevitably crashing an over-priced diesel saloon.
I worry sometimes that these are the kinds of car young people aspire to own
