  Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.

    I live in a country that gets very icy for almost half the year and honestly while AWD is a QoL improvement, it’s nowhere near necessary. Good winter tires do so much more for you and RWD gives you more control than FWD at least.

    AWD doesn’t help you brake better unfortunately.

    I’m very meh on the AWD as someone in the north. Not needed, but a/c is definitely helpful!

    EVs (at least well build ones) are far less depending on AWD (and 99% of the people telling me they require one should buy fucking proper winter tires instead)
