My wife had a very bad freeway experience with her 4Runner and hydroplaning ending in sideswiping the median barrier.
I convinced her that AWD was the best thing to get her over her fear of driving in the rain after that. It was becoming pathological.
Got her a 2014 Forester and I have heard nothing about rain since then.

That is m ore the fault of the tires- not the vehicle
