I know the 2016's have yet to reach the US, but has anyone here had the opportunity to test drive both a RWD and a new AWD R coupe?

I'd love to hear if the car handles any different, and how the steering compares, both with the changes to the steering, as well as any difference the AWD has caused.

Oh, and I read that the spring rates in the front were stiffer in the 2016 due to the added weight of the AWD. Does the car ride any noticeably different?

I have a 2016 on order and was just wondering how the general public perceived the differences. I've already read all the new reviews, but I'd love for someone to compare the 2015 RWD versus the 2016 AWD in a back to back test.

 

First boat of cars reached Baltimore and were offloaded yesterday, so it won't be but a few more weeks til people have that opportunity. I doubt more than maybe one person here have had a chance to drive an AWD yet.

 

I didn't know if any 2016's might have been delivered in the UK or Europe already. Obviously, Road and Track, and other magazines have had a chance to play with at least a pre production model.

Thanks!

 

I went for a test drive in an AWD last weekend (28 feb), was the first one to get to go out in it apparently as it had only just become available, so they are coming on stream here in the UK.
Sorry but I can't help with the difference between RWD and AWD as I havent driven the RWD model.
What I can say is that I enjoyed the test drive enough to place my order today

 

There have been several AWD reviews posted here recently from various car mags. They have been very positive.

I just checked. Google: "F-Type AWD," and you'll find quite a few.

 

I know. at the end of my initial post.... " I've already read all the new reviews, but I'd love for someone to compare the 2015 RWD versus the 2016 AWD in a back to back test."

 

I will contact the dealer soon to try to arrange. I suspect they should have them here in Georgia within 7-10 days.
