Big discounts for those looking for all-wheel-drive - The Globe and Mail

– which has many buyers looking to score an all-weather, all-wheel-drive (AWD) ride. As it happens, a broad range of auto makers are offering discounts on vehicles with excellent AWD systems – or for our purposes, the full-time four-wheel-drive F-Series. The truth is, Audi, Subaru and Mercedes-Benz have all made AWD a core brand element and the systems in their respective vehicles are effective and reliable right across the board. That being the case, it’s interesting to see combined discounts exceed $3,000 on the 2015 Subaru Outback. The story is similar for the Audi A3, with its quattro AWD system, and the Mercedes-Benz C350 coupe with 4MATIC. The savvy buyer will find more than $3,000 in combined discounts on the Audi and more than $5,000 on the Benz. And if it’s a pickup you’re looking for, the combined discounts on the Ford could reach more than $8,000. Saving substantial money on an all-weather ride has the potential to take some of the sting out of the grim road conditions. Pricing information is subject to change and dealer discounts vary.
