No, mine is RWD. While AWD is available, the steering feel isn't the same (less precise) and the handling isn't as good, since the vehicle is lifted slightly (which means that the MSport suspension isn't available for the AWD 5). The AWD variant is also heavier, which results in it being slightly slower to accelerate, and consuming more fuel.
