08 SX4 Crossover FWD

[Zuk08]

I'm a newbie, I found this website after buying my SX4 Crossover AWD with the Conv pak Feb 29, 2008. I am courious if anyone have more information on the SX4 Crossover FWD, is the mpg better, how about the handling? There seem to be a $500.00 difference between the AWD and the FWD. I read that the new 09 SX4 Crossover FWD gets the nav system but not the AWD. Could someone confirm this, or did I read wrong.

I just got the 08 SX4 crossover FWD (AWD is not offered where I live)5 speed manual. Since the climat is dry and there is no snow here, I really don't have much use for AWD. On my 1st tank of gas I averaged 31 mpg in mixed driving (about 70% city and 30% highway). 0-60 in about 7.5s, but will check exact timing.
