but it depends very much what you are after, at the time i bought mine ( a 4x4 ) i wanted a car that i could drive all year round come rain or shine, i love it to bits, but you loose a bit of the raw feel and depending how fast you want to go it can become very expensive on the gearbox front.

imo

RWD
More exhilerating (sp?) drive, take more power/ stupid when its wet

4x4
very usable all year round/ limited by gear box unless you have mega money
