FWD compared with AWD.

[Gloriaaaa]

Hello,
Just wondering how much difference there is in day to day driving between FWD and AWD (full time AWD) I understand in bad weather AWD will be noticeable, but how about on a dry road? If you drove an AWD and FWD version of the same car, how much difference would you feel?
Thanks,
Gloria.

Audi Coupe. Around 150bhp I think.

Which model?

Audi 80/B4 Coupe.

2.6 V6? It'll be fine, quite a relaxed cruiser rather than a back road burner. The 2.8 came as a q.

Yeah. I thought 2.8 and 2.6 were the same power but apparently 20 difference.

Will I notice I don't have AWD? I like to drive twisty roads quickly but nothing too ridiculous.

A 2.6 is fine, If you like to drive quickly on twisty roads though..............chose something else. (nothing to do with AWD v FWD)

A friend told me the saloon is a better drivers car but I like the look of the coupe.
I want something fun to drive and something a little older. I don't want to have to deal with rust so that narrows down my choices.

Audi 80 'drivers car'

He didn't say the saloon is a drivers car, he just said it's closer to being a drivers car than the coupe. I trust him to know what he's talking about. I was just curious about fwd vs awd. He says I would only notice a difference in the wet.
But I don't know a lot about cars he can't think of a suitable car for what I want so I will probably stick to the audi anyways.
