aren't they kind of expensive to maintain?

What is the chinkpad or gentoo of cars im guessing g know potatoes about cars

Reminds me of that one video where a lowly Subaru mogged all exotic cars trying to climb a desert hill.

80's Toyota Truck. No thrills, just werks.

Fun fact, their awd only works this well if you pay for more than just their basic cars. Go diagonal up a hill and it'll get stuck since both front and rear diffs are open.

Would be interested to see how the Subaru system works compared to quattro and all the haldex re-branded implementations.

>the more expensive models have better features
whodathunkit

Their advertising is misleading since only the high end system will "go anywhere".

Used skoda

More specifically a used VAG from the early 00s with a PD engine.

>features
Literally the same hardware will be gimped depending on trim, and its not anywhere in the realm of sane segmentation. Its one trim can handle one tire slipping on an incline well while another cannot which is inherently fucking dangerous.

the fuck
are 4wd's really this owned by a tiny bump on a small incline?

In general yes. Keeping traction on all wheels is apparently hard.

Old Toyota Camry.

it's not a "tiny bump", it's traction. it's to simulate slip conditions where traction is lost. They could do the same test on flat ground on ice. this is just a better means for testing because the conditions can be consistently replicated with a static ramp and rollers to simulate the patches of ice where you would lose traction.

Most AWD systems are shit. 4X4 is usually always better, even more so if you can lock the rear diff.

Subarusisters… its our time

Yes most AWD (not 4WD, different things) you see in crossovers and cars are absolutely puny and they're basically a matchstick thick driveshaft going to the back to get you unstuck (maybe) from the snow or mud from time to time.

What matters is how the system senses slippage, and then the theoretical, and practical, mechanical power loss to each wheel.
I'm pretty sure automakers are intentionally putting out shitty AWD systems just to have a guaranteed upsell in years to come if progression truly stalls.

This ad is old as shit. And any rwd truck with locking diffs with do it too.

Any random
>muh locking diffs
will slip all over and dig a rut.

Power delivery to the ground is not all the same.
