10 Best All-Wheel-Drive Sedans Under $35,000 | Edmunds.com When rain or snow is part of your everyday commute, you need a reasonably priced AWD sedan that will reliably get you where you're going.
The concept is powered by a 2.2 liter clean diesel that produces 187 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via Mitsubishi's new Twin-Clutch SST transmission–another feature set to debut on the Concept cX. The Concept-ZT saves weight by using an all-aluminum space frame. Porsche and BMW need to get on the ball!
None of these cars are all-wheel drive, and only the Mercedes is a sedan. The groupings are relevant more for their price ranges and interior accommodations. I actually did find a video clip from the British TV show "Top Gear" that compared the S4 to the STI and Evo.
An ideal drive system would be to engage the drive to all four wheels, or even biased toward the front, just as long as there are small or no lateral forces on those front wheels. Once you need to turn, or use the front wheels to correct the direction of the vehicle, it is unwise to have engine torque, leading or lagging (compression braking ...
However, I'm torn between buying the FWD version, or the AWD version. I live in MN, so there is definitely snow. However, I currently drive a FWD car, and find getting around to be relatively easy for the most part. I'm not planning on going "off-road" and figure if the roads are that bad, even AWD isn't going to be the "cure-all."
It drove straight but the steering wheel was slightly off center to the left, about 1/32 to 1/64th. When I mentioned it to the technician we took a test drive and he agreed - he suggested that he needed to make an additional toe adjustmment - he moved one side in and one side out and it miraculously straightened the wheel.

The car has been exceptionally good in snowy conditions, in my opinion. Obviously, driving on snow in a AWD car is completely different than in a rear wheel drive car (e.g. IS350). The Lexus/Toyota awd system with limited slip diff. is excellent and in dry weather when you don't notice any difference to a rear wheel drive car.
I just bought a 95 Suburban 1500 w/ 193,000 miles. Won't go into 4 wheel drive, will shift but indicator light doesn't come on, not engaging - previous owner insists that it works, but a little tricky at first. Now snowbound but feeling burned
I caught a glimpse of the Car & Driver rag, and the DTS is staying on the the tried and true, styling was the main upgrade. Also, the rag stated that the STS all wheel drive had a 5 speed tranny, but I think it actually has an available 6 speed option when you get the AWD. I have yet to really get a good look at the Lucerne.
