I was looking at an astro or safari. Is RWD or AWD better or does it
matter? Thanks.

Well, how much does it snow where you live? How hilly is it? I live in
Ithaca, New York, which is both hillier and snowier than most of the
U.S. (or Europe, for that matter), and I do fine with a FWD minivan.
I suspect that you would do the same, especially if you invest in good
snow tires.
