>> Suburu's are likely the best... recently CU tested three -- Forester, CR-V, and RAV4, if I remember correctly. Suburu out handled the other two easily. <<

I rented a Toyota RAV4 once while traveling out of state in a snowstorm. That damn thing had the gall to beep at me whenever I went into a skid! Gawd that was annoying! I already know how to handle skidding, so it was a pleasant relief to get back home to my trusty Subaru.

Well Subaru (like Audi I am not sure?) is full time.. My old Explorer built on Ranger truck frame has 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW... I engage 4WD HIGH... Really this is not an off road vehicle so the low seems superfluous to me.. Mind you it is a beast for hauling an 8K LB trailer at speed .. across Canada and back though the US... I will be sad when it dies..

I go to Montreal very often from Toronto.. I set the cruise at 119kmph in Ontario and 109kmph in Quebec where they are much stricter.. it is quite economical at these speeds to boot :) Just as good a my Hyundai 4cyl Santa Fe :))
