Cars with all-wheel drive
All-wheel drive is a genuine gain in mountain regions and when towing — and is often overrated otherwise. It helps with traction and pulling away, not with braking and not in corners. A front-wheel-drive car on good winter tyres is safer on snow than an all-wheel-drive one on all-season tyres. Where it clearly does pay off: steep driveways, unmade tracks, heavy trailers and resale in mountain regions.

What matters
- Distinguish permanent all-wheel drive from on-demand systems. The latter react only once a wheel is already slipping — usually enough for snow, not for a heavy trailer on a slope.
- All-wheel drive costs fuel and weight, usually around half a litre to a litre per hundred kilometres. If you do not regularly need traction, you pay that permanently for nothing.
- On used all-wheel-drive cars: all four tyres must be worn evenly. Different tread depths load the centre differential and lead to an expensive failure.
