awd vs rwd.. - 11/20/2007 2:04:38 PM    hodnik   Posts: 2 Joined: 11/20/2007 Status: offline Hey guys, first post here. Really interested in the charger r/t, but am even more interested in a vehicle that I can control in adverse weather.  What are your guys views on awd chargers vs rwd chargers? Did a quick search around these forums - didn't see anything really regarding the topic. thanks, dan Post #: 1

The awd versions are slower in 1/4 mile but alittle quicker going 0-60 by a few tenths but won't handle as well as the rwd due to its alittle heavier. And lastly the awd models will get slightly lower mpg then the rwd but nothing major. (in reply to hodnik) Post #: 2

Any suggestions? (in reply to Nicky B) Post #: 3

LOOKS terrible.  But it might help in bad weather. I always wanted to test drive one. I think that the Charger does well in most weather.  Mine drives well on ice and snow but does have trouble stopping.  I say get snow tires or chains... (in reply to hodnik) Post #: 4
