Pros: Turbo is quick, AWD is great in snow, leather interior is sharp
Cons: rough ride on 17" alloy rims/performance tires; lacks storage nooks in cockpit,

Recently bought 9-2x Aero, they could not find the trim package I wanted in the color my wife wanted so we had to settle for the sport package (which is basiclly a moon roof and 17" rims with performance tires for $2000). Let me preface with I live in Buffalo NY and we do get more than our fair share of snow but I expected to tear thru anything mother nature can thru at me with the 'All Wheel drive'. Boy was I wrong, I can't keep this car on the road. I am slipping and sliding everywhere and I have 15 years of winter driving experience! It was so bad I had to go and drop another $700 beans On a set of snow tires (and rims!). Also, I found the the ride is a little rough in the performance tires, yes they grip the dry warm road fine but you can feel every stone as you drive over it. Long story short, If you live anywhere in the world that gets more than 1" of snow a year, stay away from the Sport package it negates any of the benefits you get from the AWD.
