one thing about haldex AWD that may not matter to you.. when i drove a car with a part time awd setup (forester) i could feel the rear wheels get power and lose power when i was pushing the car around an offramp at the traction limit of the front tires. it was very hard to drive the car smoothly as the power transfer made the weight shift front/back in a way that wasn't intuitive to me.

personally.. i would get AWD with a full time mechanical center diff.. or not bother and get a 2wd car. i think the loss in predictability is a deal breaker b/c it ruins the vehicle dynamics
