Agree for the majority of all motoring 2WD is plenty, and few people will use the off road capabilities of 4WD, but where AWD/4WD comes into their own is vehicle grip and stabilty in poor weather and on slippery surfaces, again many people won't notice or ever make use of that additional grip and that's fine, we all want and like different things.
For what its worth my wife loves 4WD, because all she has to do is point the car and squirt and it just does everything she asks of it never stepping out of line, with 2WD on slippery roads you obviously have to drive differently, she can drive any vehicle in any weather, but freedom of choice and all that she'd rather have the grip and is prepared to pay at the pumps, i have full time 4WD too, not getting to work on time at 4am is not an option for me even once its the principle, prefer driving large lazy comfortable 4WD vehicles anyway, again i am happy pay for that at the pumps, each to their own.
