AWD is not specific. Is it F4-T? F4-L? FM4? M4? R4? Even if AWD, it is FWD based (F4-T).

"FWD-based" (the proper term would be "biased")??? Really???? Oh, you must be one of those guys. Get one on a lift, start it, put it in drive (or 1st and let the clutch out), all four wheels start turning...oh nevermind, I forget it's useless talking to guys like you...you're right, it's a FWD vehicle what a POS. EPIC FAIL, Audi, EPIC FAIL.

Well, these are the arguments used by members on this forum against the A 45 AMG/CLA 45 AMG.

The EVO/STi are also FWD biased AWD drivetrains arent they? I havent heard too much complaining about their handling capabilities.

I do get what ur saying tho. It's a matter of preference between corner exit speed grip vs. sharper turn in.

I gotta admit tho. Coming from a tuned '08 STi, I dont recall complaining about bad handling. That thing gripped till I felt light headed.

I felt almost no change in handling dynamics coming from my tuned 135i to my S4.

You probably werent pushing hard enough then.

From driving an STi and the E90 M and porsche boxster sypder even at 6 10ths, u can definitely feel the difference in handling characteristics.

The spyder and the sharpest turn in
The M has a balanced feeling with a slight tail happy handling
The STi u can feel the front holding on due to sheer grip (265s all around)
