No experience, but if u have a choice get the CXL or GS. All 3 models seem to be underpowered, esp the base & no V6 option. 255hp & 295lb for a turbocharged Inline 4 is decent, but would rather have that power naturally aspirated as opposed to being TC'd due to turbolag.

go with the GS
-
Look good with the premium wheels that come on it

I really like them, I looked at a turbo one when they first dropped. As said it was underpowered for it being turbo but it had Brembo brakes and some nice wheels on it. Looked just like this (Got some pics of it in my phone, but I'm at work).

What did you expect? It's rated at like 250hp, the sxt is 300hp and they weigh within a few pounds of each other. I bet that turbocharged motor responds better to bolt ons than the N/A v6 in the SXT. -

True, 'cause I know my S12 and Stangs were HORRIBLE in the snow and ice during Detroit winters.
Still, too much power at the front wheels can cause driving issues as well. -
