It's basically FWD 99% of the time. I'm not sure if they let traction control or the AWD system act first, but I think I'd just go ahead and get a FWD model in that case. I just don't see the rear axle doing very much in that case. Save the money (and weight and fuel) and just get FWD, since it'll probably feel the same. And I'm an AWD fanatic. -juice |

I have decided on the outback but during a brief test-drive found the base engine short of power during the start even compared to my 1996 camry 4 cylinder. Any thoughts...? i will check this out again. Also thinking of the H-6 wagon with cloth. The prices i have been quoted are 500-800 under invoice after 2000 dollar rebates. Is this ok?.. some people have got better deals.? advice thanks iknev1

Replying to: raybear (Jun 23, 2006 3:35 am) If driving above 25mph during normal cruising, the system will still, supposedly, send torque to the rears upon slippage. How quickly, how much, no one really knows but toyota. Here's a better quote describing the 25mph limit applying to the Lock mode: "A 4WD manual locking switch will disengage the auto mode, maximizing torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the vehicle speed reaches 25 mph the Lock mode will disengage, reverting back to Auto mode. The Lock mode also disengages when the brakes are engaged, optimizing ABS and VSC." |
