4wd has more parts that can go wrong. It there would be less "affordable" not so?
black start wrote:Yea, its a good idea to check the FU places first before going to buy. check the availablility of parts for both models and the difference in prices. Weigh your options and make a decision based on what you think.
I would personally go with the 2wd though. If it was a conventional 4wd system with differential, driveshaft, transfercase, etc I would have loved to see a boost awd tiida

Or anyone just had no problems at all with their 4wd version? Or anyone knows mechanics that are great with these or places that stock parts at reasonable prices?
