FWD, b/c I can only afford one car, and its gotta be able to serve as a snowplow in the winter months. I previously owned an '88 RX-7 and a '97 M3....and both made me wanna kill myself when it snowed out and I HAD to get to work.

Someday when I make good enough money, I wanna sell the SS and buy some bs fwd daily driver and buy a FD RX-7 to build, as its my favorite car.

So really you could say I like RWD better.....but im restricted to driving FWD cars at the moment.

A car like that would usually have great MPH, but could pull a better ET with a better 60'.

And someone posted that the AWD cars are heavy as shit. That MAY be true, but the WRX I was able to still get 26 MPG out of it. I wouldnt complain...

26 mpg is pretty terrible for a 4 cylinder..

Well the window sticker for the car said 20/27 MPG city/highway respectively. The STi gets 18/25.

My previous car was a Blazer. 17 MPG FTL.
