Agreed, for sheer driving pleasure and speed nothing beats a car that sticks to the road, a saloon car. Not to mention better cornering and less chances of over turning as well.

However, a 4WD has better ride height which lets you see someone braking early way in ahead of your car, rather than having your vision blocked in a saloon car. Also in cases of not so minor accidents its always good to be safe up there instead of risk getting crushed in a small by a truck or an SUV.
