1996 "L" model = AWD or not??
I'm interested in a '96 L model, and am told it's AWD. Is it?
Other than upholstery and electric seat, what differences are there between L and LSi?? |

Henry, you can check out this page and click on the model guide:
http://star-gazer.servehttp.com/~svx/ 1996 L is an AWD model. The only years they made the FWD is 94 and 95. 1996 SVX: LSi adds over the L model: leather interior: seats, steering wheel, shift and handbrake lever, door trim, Power driver's seat power 2 way moonroof floor mats anti-theft system storage tray under passenger seat CD player in addition to the standard cassette 6 speakers (instead of 4 in the L) Split fold-down rear seats (one piece fold down on L model) Hope this helps Lwin

What?
Well, about half of that info is correct.
I own a 1996 SVX L. It is in fact AWD. However, my car has a CD Player, 6 speakers, and floormats, for which I didn't have to pay extra. |

Either the brochures are wrong or you have an extraordinary car like mine. Brochures and documents have been wrong many a times before. Also it is a possibility that you have an unusual car.
According to 94 notes, L has an automatic seat belt, no passenger side airbag, and 4 speakers and cass. deck. On my L, I have a regular seat belt, 6 speakers, dual airbags. So.. crap happens once in a while. But they only made FWD SVXes in 94 and 95 and they are L. All other years are AWD. Lwin

Hope this clears it up. I have a '95 L and I also have 6 speakers while the specs say 4. I think there is misprint in the specs on this one. The '95 L can be FWD or AWD. The base '95 L was FWD, but there was an "Active Safety Group" option that added AWD and anti-lock brakes. So all '94 L models are FWD. The 95 L can be FWD or AWD. The 96 and 97 L models are always AWD. |
