@unknownally 10 жыл бұрын

The Subaru doesn't use a computer driven differential, it's mechanical. The transmission sits closer to the driver and rear differential distributing the weight better. The axles are more equal lengths, therefore more grip on rally courses and less tq steer. This is what's great about symmetrical AWD. You're supposed to dive the nose in to compensate for the under steer. That's how you drive a Subie. Watch WRC and see for yourself.

@unknownally 9 жыл бұрын

Update: that's how you drive in Rally. Tarmac you would have to try not to brake hard, so the load doesn't go too far to the front wheels, or throttle too much so the load doesn't go to far to the rear wheels. Basically, you have to keep the car balanced.

Im not writing this to get anyone riled up for any reason... and YES I know they each have their perks... just Evos seem to have more.

Hmm... Interesting opinion, but an opinion none the less. I consider the Subaru more of the car that is used to driving tough terrain like most rally circuits than your typical urban sedan. But if you mean in general, then... Not quite. Both have plenty of models for you typical day-to-day driving, even standard models of the Lancer and Impreza.

Neat thing about subarus is that they will naturally oversteer on everything besides dry pavements. Dry pavements give it under steer, but it's manageable. Wet pavement can cause a lot of sudden understeer at low speed sharp corners in my car.

understeer is when the front wheels have less traction than the rear and cause the car to not be able to follow the line through the corner, and oversteer is when the rear tires cannot follow the path of the front tires and it throws the rear to the outside of the corner
