X-drive is good to have even when there's absolutely no snow on the road during the frozen months. Between Nov - March there could be
unexpected ice around any corner in the road that you might not visually see. You know the kind I'm talking about. Black Ice. Sometimes it's only 6 inches wide and blends in with the cracks in the road. The kind where your car slides first and then your brain notices it second. X-drive is less likely to make your car slide than RWD while accelerating around that corner. For me, an extra $2000 is a cheap insurance policy during my long five winter months, where my car can slide at any given time.
