AWD systems......

[Tony Hoffman]

So all this talk about the different AWD systems has me thinking. I like the
gen 1 quattro with the diff locks, love the torsen based systems, and really
like the traction on the first get A4's. That's as new as I"ve driven on
snow. I've also driven the TT in snow, and don't really like it. Like
several said, it's not very predictable, or at least not compared to the
4000Q and V8Q I currently drive. Any other TT drivers? I would like to try
one with the haldex controler installed, however.

Which seads me to the next question, does anyone know what system is used on
a CR-V? I've driven one in the snow, and I hated it. My Mom also disliked
it. She said her Mustang (on snows) is more stable in the snow. I'd agree,
BTW. In fact, I'd liken it to that early Subaru system that's been talked
about. It seemed to do nothing, then kick in and everything at once.
