Thank you for bringing up the RWD vs. AWD argument in these cars. If you have snow, just slap some winter tires. The AWD isn't worth it in my mind. Like you said, the steering feel is worse, there's more power loss, and the whole car just feels clunkier. This is apparent in the current gen BMWs, but it was especially apparent in the E90s.
I think I would still prefer AWD since these don't have a LSD. With AWD sure theres more power loss but it could actually put it down under wet/slippery conditions
I wish more people would use winter tires. They seem to think because they have AWD or traction control they can make it through but it's all about the rubber meeting the road. Great review.

Like a Porsche 911, it sounds like it's revving a lot higher than it actually is (a good thing). 6000 rpm sounds more like 7800. Sounds so good.

Hey guys...did you all check out the test drive video of the new brz? Chris, any thoughts? Would that be your perfect daily driver.
Is it true it's got an auto-blipper in all modes except for when you turn traction control off? So you can't double shift?
I daily drove an assortment of rear drive 6 speed BMWs in NY from 2001 to 2019. Now I drive a 6 speed WRX. I just could not justify an M2
