I'm looking for a used vehicle... it seems you can get an allroad quite cheap in the states as well. My budget would be around $16 500, which is what most of the allroads on kijiji are hovering around.

Subaru's have an excellent drivetrain but seem to be lacking in interior refinement. Airbag suspension is also a BIG plus for me, as I would like to be able to tackle some slightly more aggressive offroad driving, and apparently the allroad is the only wagon to complete landrovers offroad excursion test.

I was looking for V70R's and 850R's as well (both awd turbo 5spd) - I didn't realize Volvo had such performance oriented vehicles a decade ago!

PS:

Does anyone know offhand if it is possible to add front/rear LSD's to the quattro drivetrain? I have a mechanical locking rear diff, but it has to be engaged manually and is only good to 25km/h.



I think Subaru AWD > all

great video

That is a great video, and show's how weak other manufacturers "awd" system's are.. but once again they don't compare it to an Audi's quattro system.

After driving both, and also a friend who's owned several of both (including the Haldex version of quattro), we both agreed that they're pretty damn equal in real world environment... EXCEPT, subaru's version (or just the cars overall) is lighter, and that can make a big difference in certain circumstances.

I honestly think the Audi system is better, and I'm a huge subie fanboy haha.

And I showed that video once and I got shut down by somebody by saying it was ridiculously biased lol.
