Hopefully will not be a bad winter when I might regret losing 4 wheel drive.
One of the reason I got rid of my 4x4 is because I never ever took it out of 2wd, and my commute is 44 miles along country lanes and B roads that rarely get gritted, you really do not need 4 wheel drive in the snow, what you don't want is rear wheel drive.

So I have moved down to the V40 to save myself some money, no more £260 a year in tax and £3000 a years in diesel!
