I'm happy with the Highlander so far but I haven't had a chance to use it in winter conditions(no snow or ice yet where I live) so I don't know how effective the 4WD will be. It's fine on paved roads in both dry and heavy rain conditions.

There is no such "animal" as a 4WD built on a FWD "base". Toyota is being a bit too liberal with the "4WD" term. Base FWD vehicles MUST have the front drive mechanically, SOLIDLY, coupled to the transaxle output so the only rear drive option is to somehow make it a "soft" adaptable coupling or an intermittent one. The SH-AWD system by Acura is not just the beat of the best in this regard it is clearly head and shoulders above the next in line insofar as all around engine torque distribution is concerned.
