I'm amazed my bill's figures. I found a T5 pretty easy. Must have been lucky.

If you have not had the need for a 4WD/AWD vehicle up till now, you have no reason to look for one.

AWD is usefull if you drive in situations where you may get stuck. That's it. Doesn't handle better. Doesn't brake better. Doesn't steer better and is not safer. Griver skill and good tires are more important than 4WD/AWD. Commercials are such a let down.

What the T5 gives you over AWD. 300lb lighter for same power, less mechanical loss of power, lower priced parts, less maintenance.
