The best way to stay in control of humidity and temperature is to take it into the service center and have them set the user option for Automatic Airconditioning to OFF. That way it will not go switching inot to AUTO mode when you least expect it, and you can drive around in the snow with the AC on if you want to. It will not switch off because it thinks you are cold enough. |

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this question, but it seems that this a thread on power-train. My dealer was just notified that they have been allocated 2 FWD 400h cars. In looking at the brochure, the 0-60 time is somewhat slower, the weight is lower, and the mileage is higher. I'm not too concerned about 0-60, but rather rolling acceleration (e.g., 30-70). Any thoughts on the relative merits of AWD vs. FWD (aside from the obvious off-road and snow capabilities, neither one of which is important to us)? I know this is a duplicate message - I first posted it as a response to a previous thread) |

If you dont care about snow, none of the 400h can go off road anyway the 2wd should be a great vehicle. The 4wd 400h is mostly front drive anyway probably 90% most of the time. I think you will find acceleration excellent in the 2wd also especially at speed. You will have the added benefit of higher gas mileage, and i think you should bargain harder on this vehicle as t he 4wd is more popular and perhaps you can get them to come down off msrp. I own a 4wd 400h with 4500 miles and its an incredible car, i seriously think you should go for the 2wd if it is optioned the way u want.

Replying to: katzjamr (Nov 03, 2005 11:17 am) My concern about the FWD model is that the rear electric motors are missing, thereby lowering the total torque and horse-power available. The other concern is resale value.
