I know that whenever we get a used one in at Parkway it goes pretty quickly, so people are liking them.

    I thought about the ST but for me the awd is a big plus. I have an awd caddy sts that I would be replacing.

    Yes there are deals out there for sure. Last winter my local dealer had a '17 with 4,000km for $36k (it was stolen and recovered). If AWD is a requirement for you, the RS is a great car.

    The car is a blast and made for short commutes (IMO).
    I had no complaints in the 3 years I had mine.
    It's not a long road trip car though. After 2 hours your back will be yelling at you.
    But for a daily driver or short commute or track car you cant go wrong.
    One of the least warranty repaired car's I ever owned.
    I think in 3 years I had 1-2 minor issues.
    With a tune the car can hit high 12's. Not bad for a little 2.3 turbo.
