Just found out it will cost me $2500 to get my AWD working. I am tempted to go with front wheel drive only. Any reason not to?

What year? What was the diagnosis?

If you remove the prop shaft and go to FWD, winter driving will be compromised. But so will wet slippery roads - you will notice torque steer for the first time.

Your acceleration will improve and your MPG will also go up. Until you put on real snow tires.

No experience, but I have read many posts from people who did the same thing for the same reason.

The only reason I have seen not to is if you want to keep AWD.
