Feel better?
Thanks. Yes, feel better. I think the top reason is that the RWD is sitting at the dealer waiting for me. And given that the RWD is way, way beyond my driving non-skill, it's somewhat silly to pay even more for performance I will never use. So... cheaper. Oh, it also has 1mpg better gas mileage. Definitely saving the planet with that..
I was second guessing my decision to go with a AWD when I ordered my car. I agree it may be safer with the power this car puts out but I will never use it for all its potential. I won't track it either so I guess it will be a great non-abused car for the next person.
