As my handle says, I am a mailman. I have a 85 mile rural route in Illinois, grew up in Nebraska where we got more snow (and ICE).
Stay away from the AWD. I had a Ford Aerostar AWD that worked OK for the snow when I had a route near Denver, CO for a while. But it was TERRIBLE on ice, anything over 20 MPH you basically had no control.
I have a RHD Jeep Cherokee I bought in April 2009, it is a 1994. Not my first Jeep, my oldest is a 1949 Pickup. But, will tell you their "part time" 4wd is not much better than the AWD. I run mine either in 4H or in 2H.
My wife used to have a KIA Sportage. High maintanance car, was good in snow but lots of front axle issues if 4wd used much.
My farm pickup is a 2001 Chevy 2500 4x4. Push button 4x4. The "automatic" 4x4 doesn't always read the road conditions quite right.
My opinion is to get a true 4x4. If I was to get one just for a daily driver, not pulling any heavy loads, probably a Toyota Tacoma or Rav4. The Rav4 is the next car my wife wants when I retire her Chevy HHR to my mail route. DOUG
