Default FWD vs AWD

Considering buying an XTS and I live in GTA of Toronto where I'm able to get by with FWD. What are the pros and cons regarding both, thanks!

It really depends of your road conditions during the winter driving season. I live in Michigan, which is about the same climate that you have in Toronto. All of my vehicles are either AWD or 4WD. Granted, we don't need that option only a hand full of times per year. But when we do, it is well worth having. Especially for me. My daily commute is nearly 150 miles per day ( roughly 241 KM's) so for me, that's a must have. My XTS4 drives as if it's on rails through snow and ice. On dry roads, you would never know it's an AWD. And mileage is great. I get just under 25 MPG. I do drive mostly highway though, but that is outstanding for a large car like this. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't be without it. Only other suggestion I have for you is to avoid the early years of the XTS. Look for at least a 2016 if you can. Too many issues. (Ask me how I know!) Good luck with the hunt!
