Anyone compare GS350 AWD to RWD ???
Is their a ride/noise difference between the AWD and RWD GS350? I know there is a slight difference in MPG between the two, but I was wondering what else you may be sacrificing by getting the AWD?

Haven't driven these two specifically but here are the pro's and con's
pro's
- better wet handling
- better dry handling particularly in a powerful car
con's
-slightly reduced performance and fuel economy
- extra weight means slightly longer braking distances

I have the AWD for a month or so. im getting 22 to 23 MPG driving around in NYC with a combintation of city/hwy driving. I havent really noticed any reduced performance, becuase this car flies and is very responsive and the brakes stop on a dime. Another point to make is that i havent driven the RWD so i really have nothing to compare it to.
