i am in the market for a 4-wheel drive sedan which should have 4-wheel drive necessarily. can somebody tell me what are my options. budget is something around 30-35K. thanx.

subaru Legacy

Audi A4 Quattro, Infiniti G35x, VW Passat 4motion, Subaru Legacy, BMW 325xi, Chrysler 300 AWD, Mercedes Benz C240 4matic, Volvo S40 AWD is your list of options, pretty much.

AWD is overrated ;o

thanks guys! am overwhelmed by the instant responses. i am deciding between the vw and legacy. have a soft corner for the vw. use to drive the skoda octavia which is a poor mans equivalent of the passat. but just loved it! gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. thanks again!

I'd go legacy personally.

WRX STi

If you're in Europe get the Skoda Octavia Estate 4x4 , with the 1,9 TDI engine (130 HP) and the 6 speed manual transmission . A friend of mine has oe and I drove it a couple of times . Excellent car .

If the octavia RS is a AWD......get it!
I like this car... :heart:

I'd DEFINATELY go for the Subaru Legacy.
VWs look kind of bloated, the Legacy is sharper but still conservative.
And unlike VW, Subaru specializes in symmetrical all-wheel drive.
They provide it on all models, so their AWD technology is much more advanced.
And I just got one and it's GREAT!!
I live in Toronto and we just got dumped with snow x_x
I saw people skidding and sliding, but i safely drove past them in my Legacy.
Symmetrical AWD rocks!!

Plus, ur on a budget right?
Well then when it some to AWD sedans, I think the Legacy is the most affordable option.

First of all, what's the 1st priority/use the AWD vehicle for?

G35x.

Don't forget the X Type. Well, on second thoughts- do forget it.

OMG I forgot the X-type! I love the X-type; it's the only Jag I'd ever want to own.

My family is also considering an all-wheel-drive sedan/wagon. I like the Legacy, definitely has the best all-wheel-drive system, but all the others are nice too.

Keep in mind Volvos

Oh, don't get me wrong.
The other ones look nice too, especially Audi
But besides the looks, we got the Legacy cuz it was more affordable.

Yeah, the Audi would be my second choice, and then probably the G35X or the S40

Come to think of it, the new Acura RL also has AWD.
If u can spare $70 000 (CAD)

I'd go for the Legacy as well but you forgot an option:

Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon Q4

Ummm ...
I think arvind is from North America.
We don't have Alfa Romeo in NA.

He said he used to drive a Skoda Octavia that's why I supposed he was living in Europe

oh my bad.

dont foget fords new line up

the Five Hundred is avail AWD as well as the Freestyle

get a REAL 4wd - ie a land rover, not fake ones

AWD isnt = offroad! Many sportcars have it for better traction.

Wow, really? I've sworn I've seen this one Alfa Romeo where I live driving around occansionally. It's left-hand drive and all.

They used to bring Alfas to the states, so there are a few older ones around ('80s and early '90s)
