Nothing beats the feeling of down shifting into third gear while rev matching taking a tight corner at 40 and hearing your tires screech. But if thats not for you, than go for the awd. Drove the 2015, it shifts like butter and definitely has more power, a lot of power i don't really need. You don't go straight in these cars lol.

Is it worth it putting a FI in a automatic?

If you want more horses sure it is. There is some work you want to do to the At to get the most out of it though. There are some threads on it on here someplace.

Another thing I'll mention...everyone always says our cars are fun on curvy roads...personally i enjoy it on straight roads a lot! The feeling of being low to the ground...shifting, the engine...everything...all i need is a louder exhaust...stock is too quiet.

The louder exhaust will rock your world in those straight lines!
Even enjoy my two hour straight line commute down the 401 'cuz I know there will on and off ramps involved! (I am easy to please)
