I'm thinking of this in terms of my deliveries. If I had a reliable 4WD I
could deliver things in snow, that other people couldn't.
You know those old commercials where they showed a pickup driving over
railroad ties with a glass of water on the dash? Does that require a
special suspension? That's the kind of thing I'd need, to be able to do
deliveries over snowy streets, without getting my guts rattled loose.

I don't know the first thing about new cars. We're still driving the 93
Corolla.
Do they have 4WD cars or just SUV's for example?
Anything 4WD for under $20k new?
We'd probably look for something 3 yrs old anyway, with low mileage, to
save money that way.

Try looking for something like a Caldina, it started out as a 4WD wagon
version of the carona in 1997 and they still make it.
It comes with varous motors from 1.6L 4cyl to 2L diesel to 2L turbo out of
the GT4/All Trac.
As far as i'm aware the are still being made.

It's OK. It's too bad we DON'T get the Caldina here!
You guys get a LOT more of Japan's output there than we get here.

All the 4WD's seem to be under RV's, I don't see anything like the
Corolla wagon in 4WD under cars. In fact I don't see Corolla wagons at
all, at their site. Don't they make them anymore?
I bet I could still get some money for this '93, it's sweet.

Coming a bit late to the feast, as I don't really follow this 4WD
game, but isn't the Lexus (a Toyota, after all) R330 a 4WD? (And
a hybrid to boot, yay!) Or is that a tad glamorous for the job?

If you are in the U.S., go to www.toyota.com and look at the Matrix under
cars. The Matrix is available in AWD, (all wheel drive) which is full-time
four wheel drive.

Does that greatly reduce the gas mileage?
I don't see it under options though.

Hmmm... It looks like AWD is discontinued in the Matrix for 2007.
If you look at Edmunds.com and research used cars, an AWD Matrix is
available for 2006 model year and earlier. According to the EPA fuel
mileage estimates, the AWD version gets 2 MPG less in the city, 3 MPG less
on the highway, 3 MPG less combined.
FWD with automatic transmission 28 city, 34 hwy, 31 combined EPA
AWD with automatic transmission 26 city, 31 hwy, 28 combined.
Of course, your mileage may vary, but the relative difference between the
FWD and AWD Matrix should be about right.

Hmmm... It looks like AWD is discontinued in the Matrix for 2007.
If you look at Edmunds.com and research used cars, an AWD Matrix is
available for 2006 model year and earlier. According to the EPA fuel
mileage estimates, the AWD version gets 2 MPG less in the city, 3 MPG less
on the highway, 3 MPG less combined.
FWD with automatic transmission 28 city, 34 hwy, 31 combined EPA
AWD with automatic transmission 26 city, 31 hwy, 28 combined.
Of course, your mileage may vary, but the relative difference between the
FWD and AWD Matrix should be about right.

That is your choice. Look at it this way: as you calmly cruise
your vast estates, asserting your natural supremacy over docile
yet industrious peasantry, favouring them with languid waves of
one neatly gloved hand (for which they are profoundly grateful,
bowing and grovelling busily in reply), you can enjoy the solid
satisfaction of knowing you are encouraging quality workmanship
in many ways. Well tended lands and an immaculate Lexus say so
much about one, don't you think? Not expense but statement.

We wouldn't be able to afford a new car anyway, more likely a 2003.
