I would find it relatively easy to give up AWD since it adds weight and complexity and diminishes balance and handling while doing little good other than to provide some enhanced traction for accelerating. Of course I don't know what you need to use the car for but I think most people would get along just fine with a good set of winter tires and rwd.
