that is not true, anyone who cannot drive can wind up upside down, it has nothing to do with the vehicle, it is usually the subaru driver who are speeding in a snow storm, i have spent many a night rescuing many hondas, toyotas and one one occasion a 27k lb delivery van from the ditches, and my insurance absolutely gives a discount for 4x4

anyone who knows anything about driving in snow will know that 4x4 is much better for traction and control in a storm. to say otherwise is simply untrue,

under the same conditions and the same speed and same driver ability the 4x4 will have better traction and control, this one also has rear traction controls that enhance its ability in deeper snow
