Nov 3, 2021 · It's reactive AWD, so it's basically 99% FWD, then when the system detects slip up front, it sends up to 50% to the back. So, in situations where your front tires are spinning a lot (heavy snow), it's basically the same as AWD, since it works really well and I've yet to get stuck. You feel it though, compared to other cars that are full time AWD.

It's more direct, rewarding, and playful to drive a RWD car. I actually prefer FWD over AWD. The added weight, complexity, and maintenance for AWD doesn't justify the marginal improvement in fun. Most AWD cars are heavily front-biased just like most FWD cars, so the braking and corner entry behavior is still undesirable.

Nov 25, 2023 · AWD is fine too, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it because Canada. It's become popular here because Americans think they need it for some nebulous "safety" and we get what they get.

Off the line, a lot of AWD cars are faster 0-30, 0-60, even 1/4 mile, since they have better traction with 4 drive wheels than 2, but once you are under way, typically 2 wheel drive cars start to pull and rolling resistance is lower as well as weight. I use Porsche as an example, comparing the 911 Carrera/C4, or C2S/C4S, or Turbo S/GT2RS.

Apr 29, 2019 · The AWD system Audi used, and uses, eliminates them entirely from my consideration. I want a RWD car with all the fun that goes along with it--as God intended. However, my wife's car has one of the adaptive systems where the car is entirely RWD for most times and then shifts power forward only when needed, or off-road.

Dec 7, 2019 · AWD is a nice to have. There are a limited set of situations where AWD helps, like steep inclines. AWD does not help you stop or turn. And it's not a substitute for proper tires. For me, it is not worth it due to the added cost and mpg hit. Most people I know who bought a car with AWD still use shitty tires and assume AWD cars are invincible in ...

Subaru NA says within 3 /32 for their AWD systems.

Feb 26, 2023 · Yeah, that was the kind of intermediate stage between regular AWD cars and proper RWD. Usually called "CS AWD" drift chassis. They tried to imitate the rear losing traction by putting more torque into it by having different gear ratios in front and back, and also front had a one-way bearing so it could rotate freely if the rear had traction.
