$29600 for 2015 CLA250 basic model, or $2300 more for 4matic?

My original plan is to purchase a 2015 taurus as my next car. When I am searching taurus's price in autopriceshare, I found the CLA250's price is good. The price I got for 2015 CLA250 is $29600. it is a basic model.
friends recommend me to choose the 4Matic model. According to my understanding, 4Matic is only useful when it is snow, right? If my city rarely snows, is it necessary pay $2300 more for 4Matic model?

If you live in an area where it never snows, is FWD still a bad idea?

AWD for the winner = More planted, more secure, more balanced for being AWD than any two-wheel-drive alternative.

And more to go wrong down the line.

Why pay thousands for something you don't need?
