I think you should deft try before you buy and make sure that you like the feel of a 2WD.

From being a total novice i can see what people mean by 2WD is relaxing as pushing them and driving them hard just wont make you any faster where as in 4WD is dose.

But have a go with a car and see how it feels, if possible have a go with a few diff cars to see if you can feel the difference.
