Hi everyone. I was in the market to buy the new 2014 gs fsport and was wondering if i should order the AWD version? The only ones i saw at the dealership was RWD and if the AWD is worth paying extra? Any opinions? thanks

If you intend to use it in the snow a considerable portion of the time, go for the AWD.

well not really but does it handle any better then a rwd?

I'm surprised they had RWD cars on the lot in NY. On the east coast its almost impossible to find a RWD car.

The RWD car will handle better...the AWD car will be more sure footed in winter weather. If I had the option I would have gone RWD.

And everyone in the northeast talks about not being able to find any RWD models. hmmm, strange.

im here in atlanta. Im about to sell my bmw x6 50i. All i saw was rwd at the lot. 57K msrp. fully loaded.

yeah what other have said they don't stock RWD only AWD. If you did want an RWD it would have to be a special order, about a 3 month wait, unless your dealer trades with someone down south...

Not surprising in Atlanta.

I think your location under your name is misleading everyone. I thought you were talking about dealers around NY-NJ, MD.

Yup. In Atlanta get the RWD, no question.

thanks for the input. they are asking for 57k msrp fully loaded. Any idea what is the lowest i can get this for? 51 or 52 k not including tax and destination? any idea?

RWD handles better bec it has sport susp with lower ride height, staggered rims/tires and bigger brakes.

If handling is ur need - RWD version is the one to get.
