Replying to: roswell (Jan 18, 2009 8:10 am) I currently drive a 4 WD. The honda CRV has 4 WD drive available the Rogue has AWD "intuitive" my desire for 4 WD is drving in snow not over bad terraine. Does anyone know if the intuitive AWD will be as good as 4WD in snow. Drive sometimes on unplowed roads in the winter I don't know what Rogue has, but CR-V has "Real Time All Wheel Drive" not 4WD. CR-V is operated in FWD mode most of the time, until the front wheel slip is detected, then power is sent to the rears. The ABS sensors are used to send information to the Vehicle Stability Control computer to apply brakes to the wheels that slip, so that power is routed to the wheels that have traction. This is almost like have limited slip differentials front and back. The VSC also applies brakes to the innner wheels when entering corners at higher speeds on slippery surfaces to pull the vehicle in the direction of the intended turn. VSC will also cut throttle power if all 4 wheels are slipping and there is no traction. The best part is that the "VSC off" switch, turns off VSC completley.
