I did look into the Speed6 because of the AWD. But I really didn't like the clutch. It worked really well for racing, but much too touchy for general driving IMO, not to mention ice/snow. I'm sure I could have gotten used to it, but I just didn't want to.

BTW: I find the 3 is plenty powerful for most daily driving. I've blown away any focus, corolla, civic, pretty much any car in its class that I've driven against.
