More than anything else, AWD is used as a means to get more traction from a launch in sports type cars, and to get added traction in off-road environments and poor weather conditions like rain and snow. In those situations it does excel in handling, but in dry weather, it has just as many cons as it does pros. Typically a RWD car with good weight distribution is a better car because they are typically lighter. AWD adds alot of drivetrain weight and it also sucks up more power through drivetrain loss. Its all in how the chassis engineers of that particular car tune the suspension. I'd put up a Miata or BMW against ANY of the revered AWD cars (WXR STi, Evo VIII, God's Chariot aka Skyline).</p></blockquote><p></p>
