Yes it's AWD, all V70Rs are AWD (That means it's a TANK, the car weighs more than a '70 chevelle) Best time 14.35 @ 97.6 MPH (with mods), FWD cars are lighter and quicker I have seen low mile units for under 10K. 2000 was the last year before the body style change. They had a larger engine, better exhaust and less than 800 were imported. With the computer mods my MPG is 17/21 (but it's impossible to keep your foot out of it )
