Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jan 13, 2009 2:08 pm)  Only the sticks have the 50/50 split.. I have to say, that the handling part of the AWD system surprised me (in a good way).. Unfortunately, my Impreza has crappy tires and a not that great suspension... But, the steering/power inputs are pretty darn good! |

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jan 13, 2009 2:08 pm) Most WRXs are manuals, though, so he should have known better. It's 50/50 by default, and a fluid-filled viscous coupling will lock up temporarily when the front and rear axles spin at different rates. My 98 Forester had that system. It *definitely* does not feel like FWD, not at all. In fact more people complain that they are tail happy, vs. a FWD feel, or torque steer, or any FWD related traits. Gun it in the snow, and the tail will slip out, the VC acts and shifts power to the front wheels, which pulls you out of the skid. Stay on the gas, and if you're good, you can get the tail to wag in the other direction, as power cycles back to the rear axle. Let's just say I had a LOT of fun in the snow with my Forester. Another thing you'll notice - the tires wear more evenly. Usually the fronts wear a lot faster.

Replying to: Scarren (Jan 19, 2009 7:01 am) I read an article about Subaru saying that they are the sole car manufacturer not to post a loss for 08', this was bad news for me as I thought like every other car company they might start offering discounts. Sounds like they are not budging with the 09 Premiuim 2.5i 5 dr but I have seen a significanct number of 08 Imprezas in dealer inventory. Anyone purchase an 08 for a great price this month? |
