First Experience Wet Roads

Well not really my first experience on wet roads of course - but my first in the 4G AWD on really wet roads.

Unbelievable. The traction is sick. Now I almost wish it rained all the time. It feels like the water is giving grip. I did not realize it could be this good.

Anyone looking at a 4g SH-AWD and unsure about it - test drive one in the rain and see if you dont smile.

If you think the grip is good in the rain, it's fantastic in the snow (esp. with snow tires).

Yeah, you can floor it on wet roads. My buddies still get a kick out of it.

I agree. Absolutely tenacious traction. So far has worked awesome in Seattle downpours. IMHO, ranks right up there with Audis' Quattro and Subie's AWDs systems. 1000% improvement over my prior 1G TSX...

Almost inspires too much confidence.

Looking forward to driving in the snow
