I used to have a Honda 4WD, but I always had to shift into 2WD before I went onto dry pavement. Made it kind of hard to drive on patchy ice. The Subaru is AWD (All Wheel Drive). It has a computer that constantly changes which wheels get the power, so you never have to shift out of AWD. I had a friend who moved from Alaska to Hawaii and shipped his car there in the middle of the winter. He took it into the service station and asked them to remove the studs from the tires. Of course they had never seen studded tires and were utterly dumbfounded. <g>
