AWD causes more parasitic loss than RWD or FWD... Other than that maybe gearing. I was going to say heavy but I checked and it's actually about 2900 lbs, which is surprisingly light.

yah, they dropped the weight and also the powerband from the previous gen. which is fine, but the fastest ive seen is 8sec 0-60mph time and that's probably with a tranny shattering like glass launch with a 5k drop.
rolling start to 60mph is 9.5sec how do you manage living with a 10sec rolling start car when they're asking for $22K?

2K more and got a mazdaspeed3 tearing up the road with sub-6sec launch.
