This ia beauty in the eye of the beholder thing, I came from numerous TLs and had every suspension combo they offered in the 3G and drove both a 4G FWD and AWD. The AWD is frim no denying that, but the 3G Type-S was actually more jolting on bad roads thana AWD is. On the most extreme bumps the AWD is hard and you will feel it, I have said if I still lived in NJ and NYC area I woudl never get the AWD, but on decent average roads the AWD is a pleasure to drive. I only wish the steering were not so over boosted and sensitive.

I think that says it all, maybe why some of us from NYC leaned more towards the FWD, go through roads like the cross bronx expressway, BQE, belt parkway and the FWD is a godsend. It really sucks when your driving in NYC and you have to look down at the road more then you are looking ahead of you.
