Anyone? Why do I want a SH-AWD? Manual isn't an option
Well I'm torn between getting a 3.5 or a 3.7 SH AWD. I'm trying to figure why I would want the added weight, drivetrain loss, and maintenance of a AWD system. I live in the south so snow isn't a problem. I'm 100% performance oriented so I will be modding this car for sure. But mpg is also an issue as it will be mostly a daily driver vs a race car.

i'm performance oriented as much as they come and I have a 2006 TL which is FWD. If I had to do it over again, it would be AWD for traction. and RWD for fun.
never again would I choose a FWD...the only reason why I chose the FWD was because I was 23 and wanted to hold onto the car for 10 years while maintaining decent fuel mileage.
Now that I'm 33, I want the fun and traction.

The inconvenient truth
100% performance but gas mileage is an issue?
Seems you need to decide which is your priority.
That being said it was a no brainer for me to get sh-awd. But I drive in the snow too which this car is sooooo good at.

Null and proud of it
I know a FWD Accord V6/TL Base can achieve up to 35 mpg highway, averaging 22 mpg-ish in mixed driving.
The SH model, I'm sure, is probably about like a RL/TL-S, 15-17 city and 24-28 highway, 18-20 combined. That's about like my RDX.
If you're willing to burn a tad more gas, you could be getting into a G35/37, which are decent cars, but in reality, the TL SH is a better car.

Ahhh now we are getting somewhere! I was about to ask that. I know the intake itself is different and it obviously has 12 more cubic inches. But other than that is there anything different? Also is the transmission gearing the same in both 6 speed Autos?

and the poster was talking about variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust side...NOT the intake tube itself..
You can find ALL the differences by checking out wikipedia and if thats not enough for you, you can check out https://hondanews.com/en-US which will TELL you the differences between models.

I'm all about recommending shawd but fwd could easily be enough for you. Why don't you try to test drive both to see if you feel enough of a difference to warrant getting shawd. The performance is very similar but driving dynamics are different.
