I have my daughter in a 08 Hybrid Escape AWD its fantastic in the snow .... gets 25 city mpg
bought it a couple years its been a good car paid 3k for it spent another grand or so on it in maintenance repairs brakes tires ect
I have my son in a 09 Fusion ... 30 ish mpg has been a good car since we bought it 7 years ago normal stuff .. brakes tires...
My wife drives a 17 escape with the turbo 4 and awd gets 21 combined turn off the traction control its a riot in the snow moves out great paid 16k for it in november 2019
my daily is a 2017 Cmax hybrid fwd ... you sit up like a suv ... you dont feel like you are sitting on the ground like my sons Fusion did fine in the snow last winter ... 42 mpg I suppose if I put winter tires on it it will do better bought it for 13k before used cars got stupid this year
In my opinion ... AWD is over kill ... fwd does fine in the snow
