AWD for me too. It'll be my first AWD performance car and I'm looking forward to hard acceleration from a stop. I expect it'll be slightly slower from a roll (over 30 or 40mph) but I'm not buying it to win high speed races. Just want to have fun at sensible speeds and try an AWD performance car before eventually going EV.
