That's one way to get a new ride. Now hold on to your wallet and don't be blowing all your money on mods.

I live in the south and the benefit was that big for me. AWD drove great but FWD was good for me.

Nice upgrade from your 08', sorry about your accident tho. Congrats on your new TL. If I live down south I would maybe get the FWD as well.

Cool, I just got a white advance model. The vented seats are worth the price difference over a tech model.

I live down South and the AWD vs FWD it was worth it. Handling a lone and no torque steer is the biggest reasons. Stiffer suspension, sportier seats, white stitching, etc.
