Hey Mazda Cats...
First off, I like this forum. Most of you guys seem to know what you're talking about. So....
Soon to be 2018 CX-9 owner here.
I'm trying to decide on what drivetrain to get in a GT.
I realize that the AWD might have better handling but it's more expensive when "signing zee papers" and at the fuel pump.
My experience with most FWD vehicles has been this: They seem to "hop around" a bit while accelerating from takeoff through turns. However, FWD costs less in both gas and sticker price and is fantastic when it snows.
Is the FWD experience in the CX-9 acceptable to most? Is there really that big a difference? Of course, I'll test drive both to make a final decision.
Chime in bit*hes and thanks! Wishing you serenity and happiness.
