I don't think the tC is a chick car. Not sure why you think that, because girls are always driving them? How about those RSXs? I see girls driving them all the time.
LOL it's interesting that you chose a "bump" of a very old thread as your first post, then failed to mention any reason for the bump. Either way, welcome, and thanks for the laugh :tongue:
the AWD is active 100% of the time, with as much as 100% of torque going to rear wheels (rare circumstances, I agree!)
Anyway, that wasn't the reason I wanted to post here.
What I wanted to ask was, you guys keep saying Subaru has more "effective and efficient" awd system. While I can agree with "more effective" part, what's more efficient about it? You don't really need AWD going straight line at constant speed..
Again, no flame intended at all, just want to fully understand.

**** it. It's already revamped, so I might as well add to the thread. I fail to see how Subaru's AWD system is "more effective." Simpler -yes. More effective -not really. Subaru uses simple viscous locking differentials for the center diff. The MS6 AWD system is capable of torque-vectoring with a clutch-pack type center diff. It's much more akin to the DCCD on the STi than the viscous type in the WRX. Does the viscous diff get the job done? Yes, but it's not as versatile. The stock WRX center diff is locked only until 4KG of force bias exists between the front and rear axles. After that, it acts as a viscous limited slip diff to quell unecessary wheelspin. The MS6 (and DCCD) can vary the level of lockup, from fully free, to fully locked. To me, that's more effective.
