Ignoring sports cars (WRX, Nissan GTR), is AWD really necessary? Take the Subaru Liberty - its not going to be driven to its limits to need 4WD by the types of people who drive it. Is it really going to make any difference to the driving experience puttering around suburbia or a CBD?
My dad isnt into cars at all, he would have no idea NOR could he tell if his car was AWD. But he, or anyone, could tell what fuel economy they were getting roughly, i.e $ per full tank and how far they'd get on it. I ask coz if you look at how the Subaru Liberty 3.6R sedan stacks up to the Falcon...the Falcon truly eats it. So what if the Liberty has AWD?! The falcon pips it on fuel economy and power and torque. And the EcoLPI falcon even more so! And the Subie only runs a 5-spd auto... |
