I just bought a 17' M240 IX and I'm very happy with the AT/AWD combo. Keep in mind, this is my DD and I don't have any desire to pitch out the back end or drift the back 40. I already have a MT/RWD fun car for autocross and mountain carving. I already find myself defending why I didn't get an M2 and the one-too-few pedals and AWD comments. Some of us just want a comfortable, spirited daily driver that doesn't rattle the teeth out of our heads when we go over speed bumps and potholes. I don't want to build up my left leg muscles to twice that of the right when I sit in traffic. I think you'll enjoy an AWD/AT conv just fine. If you have a DD already and this is your "fun" car, then the RWD/MT might be a little more satisfying.
