Are all-wheel drive vehicles essential for driving in snowy conditions?

I live in a snowy climate and am considering purchasing a Volkswagen ID.4. Do I need an all-wheel drive vehicle or is it just a nice feature to have?

While all-wheel drive can certainly be helpful in snowy conditions, it is not an absolute necessity. If you feel comfortable driving in snowy conditions and take proper precautions, such as using winter tires, you should be fine with a front-wheel drive car.

As someone who has driven in snowy conditions for many years, I highly recommend investing in an all-wheel drive vehicle. It provides better traction and control, especially on icy roads. In the long run, it could also potentially save you money on tire replacements.

I live in a snowy area and have driven a front-wheel drive car for years without any issues. As long as you drive carefully and have good winter tires, you should be fine without all-wheel drive. It ultimately depends on your personal preference and driving skills.
