Options abound for AWD and 4WD vehicles

Published August 13, 2008 4:00am ET



Dear Drive Guys: I am in the market for a new vehicle. I want an economical car (20 mpg city/25 mpg highway) that costs less than $30K and my wife says it needs to be an AWD or 4WD capable.

Obviously I’ve looked at SUVs and Subarus, but was wondering what other vehicles might fit the bill here. During a test drive of the Ford Escape, I was told about the Fusion. When I try to do a search at various Internet sites, there isn’t an apparent sort by drive (i.e., AWD or 4WD). Any suggestions on either how to do that search or what vehicles might fit the bill?
