About to buy first Magna, have 15 to 20K max to spend, whats the best value for buck,
took a 03 executive for a drive at 18k with 33km's they have a 155kw motor?,
then had a go in a 02/03 not sure which year, AWD for 21K it had 45km's they have a 154kw motor?
Then I'm thinking for 22k can get into a base TL with a 143 or 155kw motor.

Do the AWD have hidden problems with the rear wheel drive train? fuel economy same as a FWD?.
Is it easy to get 159kw out of them as per the AWD Sports

Looking at buying next week
Thanks
Ian

Jeeeez. give us a chance to answer your first query before double posting.

early post syndrome

AWD would have a bit less acceleration and fuel economy would be slightly worse, but nothing to worry too much about. Wouldn't be hard at all to bump up the power to over 160 with a few basic mods.
I personally would go with the AWD, but it depends what kind of driver you are and what you're using the car for.

By reading ur post i get out of it that you want the awd. If thats what u really want go for it, I have the fwd and no odramas and i love it, just write down pro's and cons of each car with features u want and all, which ever comes out on top go for, just don't bade the decision on fwd v's awd.
