3.8 AWD or 5.0

[Amill]

The choice is all about what you want in a car. Raw power or more control. I like quick cars, however I also like the better sense of control of AWD cars as well. If I had to own only one than I would buy a AWD model, even if I have to buy a slower model.

I have an AWD full sized SUV for bad weather days, so the RWD 5.0 is a perfect match in my garage. But if you have to only have one car, then get the AWD 3.8 for year round reliable transportation in all weather conditions.

I agree with Carguy75. I owned a 2015 3.8 with all of the options that they sometimes refer to as an Ultimate. It was a great car and had enough power, but I recently upgraded to the 5.0 and I am glad I did. It isn’t a matter of needing the power, but it is fun.

As far as the traction issue, that became a concern when I moved to an area that gets quite a bit of snow. I like my 5.0 Ultimate so much that I actually got an all-wheel drive SUV for the winter time because I don’t want to give it up.
