The AWD is the way to go for traction. Subaru has a great system in their manual cars and will go thru any conditions but the AWD in the auto cars is not nearly as good. I drove a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 with AWD and regret selling it. I never had a worry in any snowstorm. Remeber that the braking ability doesn't change with AWD and that's where most people get into trouble. It is easy to forget that the roads are truely slippery when you can accelerate with no problems and then find yourself in a world of trouble when you try to slow down(experience talking here). The ABS in newer cars is superior to the outdated 2 channel system I had in my car but it's still important to keep in mind. If it were my wife, I would have her in an AWD car for sure.
