[QUOTE="motometal, post: 782341, member: 24727"] My thought process: whoa, Tony has a post on DRN! Small world...about cars! He hates Hondas...I'd better get in there and recommend a Honda just to get him going... ...well, someone beat me to to it. Tony, i'll assume you've given good thought on whether she really NEEDS AWD. In my opinion, considering the average climate in central Iowa, it's not a good trade off. Negatives: 1. initial expense 2. greater interest in the long run, if you finance 3. heavier vehicle-less nimble 4. potentially higher licence and insurance 5. lower fuel mileage 6. more complicated drive train, more parts that could break 7. certain AWD vehicles have a higher center of gravity and roll rather than slide positives: 1. on the 2.3 days a year that the roads are really bad, she can drive to town, work etc. (as opposed to you giving her a ride) 2. resale value ...that's just my take on it, whether or not AWD is "worth it" for you and your wife is a decision only you and your wife can make. Speaking of your favorite brand...Honda...tonight I rotated the tires on my wife's Honda Accord. She wanted me to check the brake pads. They look like new at 65,000 miles...i'm impressed! Are you coming to battletrax sunday? [/QUOTE]
