I bought a 4X4 atv back in 98. A 2WD would have been more than enough for the lease I was in at the time but thought it would be best to go ahead and get the 4X4 while I was at it. Two years ago I got into a new lease and I'm glad I spent the extra cash.

If you get the 4X4 go with one that that can be switched between 2WD and 4WD. Mine is full time 4X4 and takes alot of effort to turn and isn't much fun to "play" on. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Take your time and get whichever will be best for you. Good luck!!!
