They are quick in a straight line but I feel that most of the driving fun is lost in that car.. Just my opinion though. I really should have an AWD car where I live but I just love my sports cars  |
awd just has a different type of fun than rwd. canyon drivdriving is really different than track driving. Also, anecdotal evidence of who is more reckless on a public road is a poor indicator of a cars potential.
You really honestly can't push the car on a canyon road. Especially at corner exit, which is the whole point of awd. Driving a good 4wd at the track like an sti is pretty exhilerating, in a different way than rwd. the twins will have a sharper turn in and be fun and responsive with mid corner balance and all that usual jazz. In a 4wd the entry and mid corner isn't as exciting but omg when you mash the gas at corner apex and the car grips and turns BETTER and rockets you out of the corner, pretty amazing.
Edit: if you think the twins and sti are in the same class of cars in terms of track performance you are SORELY mistaken
