Since there are no sDrives to be had in the Pacific Northwest, despite there being only a couple inches of snow a year in Seattle, I cannot try out the RWD version. I am interested in impressions of the EPS and of how the stiffer suspension feels on regular city streets, i.e., potholes, imperfect pavement, etc.
That's odd; every dealer in the Bay Area has 5-10 sDrives. I bought one of them today.
