Ny neighbour had 4WD version, even he didnt know it wasnt a 4WD until i told him.
Only obvious sign from outside is the missing 4WD logo on back of car.
UK spec'ed cars are all 4WD, hence when i go to garage i expect it to be a 4WD.
Yes i feel like a plum.

As happened to a chap I know.
Take it from me who used to own a motorsport garage who specialised in Jap cars - Virtually any manual you can think of can be bought in english!
...and not to know if it was 4WD or 2WD is unbeleivable

Wouldn't concern me at all.
