From a handling perspective, awd does not always mean more cornering grip. It provides the ability to put down more power and a safety net at the limit.
No street in LA is slippery enough to need AWD regardless of whether. I like it because I go camping in the winter and having an AWD vehicle with CA's insanely cautious tire chain policy keeps me from driving 30mph everywhere.
My advice is to buy the car if you like how it drives and not worry if it has AWD or not. You pointed out its purpose already - its shape, sound, and speed.
