His kaki the white one behind must be shitting his pants. some Subaru Drivers think that having AWD means they have the best of traction, and thus overestimate their own driving ability. wet roads, just drive safe. There is nothing to prove by going fast in wet weather. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic May 4, 2020 Share May 4, 2020 (edited) I’m all for these kind of accidents if they don’t drag others down. Filter out cockanathan drivers who overestimated their driving capability and car. Hurt their wallet and ego also good. 👍🏼 Edited May 4, 2020 by Fcw75 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOs also has a better selector switch. The one that everyone will be missing is the Focus RS drift selector. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful. That said, roads nowadays got sucky maintenance and patching works, especially now - lack of maintenance. All the maintenance workers are in dormitory lockdown.

AWD is only a tool that contributes to better control in limited traction conditions. The more important thing is driver skill, but the even more important thing is prudence and judgment in accurately judging one's own limits and driving accordingly. Otherwise, as Subaru said, prepare for an Experience Beyond Words. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However auto plus a puny 1.6NA and on, in the worst case, wet asphalt, how to break traction? Hahhaha. Thus the Impreza 1.6na auto is useless in Singapore. maybe it might help on a really wet MSCP and you floor it, with 7year old tires.

But a road with standing water is basically like driving on a shallow lake, when you hydroplane, no wheel has traction, so AWD doesn't help. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braces...for at least $100 rise in premium. Honestly to that dog of a driver, if you are incapable, please don't do it. Train very hard and precise before putting everyone in risk. I recalled that people say that AWD doubles your traction, but 0x2 is still 0 I have one, but mine is bone stock ( as per profile picture ) and I drive it conservatively like a Corolla. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
