2011 TL SH-AWD Oversteer!
I discovered that this car can fishtail when the traction control is turned off! How cool! I was making an off camber right hand turn and gunned it just to see how the AWD would work in slippery conditions. Who ever said this car is not fun to drive is missing a few bolts. Put another 100 hp under the hood and this would be a 4,000 STI!! I took the same turn with traction control on and it tracked true with very little fan fair.

i've noticed a few times in mine driving on the highway through slushy sections and on some corners, it felt like all 4 wheels were sliding.....not fun...

Only until enough vehicle speed is scrubbed off and either the front tires or the rear tires have regained traction again, then VSA will become effective in saving the oversteering/understeering car.

The TL can send power to where it's need ......up to a point. And in it's "normal" or starting point, it is sending a majority of the power to the front, until the demand moves it to the back. The STi is just the opposite.
The TL moves the power from extreme to extreme:
90% front/10% rear to 30% front/70% rear
The Sti moves the power from extreme to extreme:
75% front/25% rear to 5% front/95% rear
The TL moves the power from extreme to extreme:
90% front/10% rear to 30% front/70% rear
The Sti moves the power from extreme to extreme:
75% front/25% rear to 5% front/95% rear

I think the Subaru WRX STi's great handling are based its' rear-drive biased system. The TL SHAWD is FWD biased.
In most cases other AWD's are 50/50 or 40/60, SH can go up to 30/70 and lets not forget about the torque vectoring between 0-100% of the available rear power to either rear wheel indivdually as needed and if necessary, which few cars have.

90% front/10% rear to 30% front/70% rear

But the seats don't recline like my TL SH-AWD 6mt.

If you had stock tires, that should come into play also- the stock Michelins are garbage IMHO. If you put on some decent tires, you would see what this car can really achieve.
But yea - SHAWDFTW

I never thought i could carry that kind of speed through turns like i do with this car! Coming from my 08 type-s 6mt, youre always fighting the steering wheel through long sweeping turns but my 2011 just blasts thru it effortlessly! Great job Honda

I've had my 2011 SHAWD 6mt for six weeks now, and it just isn't possible to fully describe how much more fun it is to drive this car over my old 04 TL. I didn't think it was possible to design a car that seems lighter than its predecessor, when it is clearly heavier.
