FAIL. AWD doesn’t make a car corner any better.

That WRX will pown all purely because it was built by Kiwi's!

really? i beg to differ.

having owned a awd cali t and a fwd cali, i can quite comfortably say the awd cornered better.

And a 200SX handles much better and is a far superior drive than any Calibra

Its a very subjective topic..

AWD doesn't "Always" make a car handle better, but it certainly can help...

The STi's typically understeer and are more nose heavy than typical "Mr Habibi Hectic - The XTC Seller" that usually drives them with the flame paint job and fully sik stereo that weights more than the car originally did...(I can say that, I owned one and apologies to those that currently do....Vectracious )

Where it get subjective is:

a) What one person think makes a car a good handling car;
b) cubic $$$$'s spent (as they say, theres no replacing extra cubes...)

I spent serious $$$$ to get my STi just to stop understeering at anytihing above normal road speed on the track...

Anti lift kits, Roll Centre adjusters, bushes, sway bars, shocks, springs, camber plates, Front LSD, Centre LSD, Rear LSD, torque splitters (DCCS) and the list goes on....

i bet you cry looking at you 545i M every day wishing it was an M5.

you said AWD does not handle better (didnt specify over what. fwd or rwd).

i say the awd cali handles better than the fwd cali

im sure most would say a GTR (awd) handles better thand the GTS-T(rwd)

alot of factors come into play as gman has noted above.

go be a sour sook somewhere else
