Even Suzuki Areo gets AWD

[misbehave]

How come mazda don't make AWD Mazda3 or P5.

 

[funkalicious]

The Aerio only has AWD on some of the automatics.

What about Mazda 6.....don't leave us out, yet that's just commonplace these days...Mazda 6 vs every other Mazda

 

[toucci]

every protege had an awd protege, the first gen had one in the us

protege 5 wouldve been a perfect candidate for awd.. if it had more hp!

no reason to have an awd, and double digit hp to the wheels.

 

[solid_snake]

JDM Mazda5 (premacy) is also available AWD

 

[Salmon_Rob]

i know, but there was a fast awd version available somewhere

fast being used very loosely there. A 170hp awd P5 wouldn't be much, if any, faster than the regular version. There would be a large amount of driveline loss I would imagine.

Anyways, I used to drive my very low miata in the snow, and unless it was deep enough that the tires didn't touch the ground I did fine.
