Lame. AWD is a nice-to-have but it's not the answer to an idiot driver.



That especially goes for bad road conditions.

<---- Seen plenty of bad accidents involving AWD or 4X4 cars up here during winter.

RS4 is obviously photoshopped in. Why would it be turning at such a weird angle?

if you look right above the roof of the RS4 you can tell it's photoshoped cause of the line, but also at the side of the road near the RS4.

1-It is photoshopped for sure.

Ditto that this is an idiot driver not an awd issue.

This is ridiculous. AWD is just dead weight for incompetent drivers who highly think of themselves.

Are you being serious when you say that? If you are then you must believe like some others that a sports car should only be rwd!

AWD has proved it's self and there is a reason why a large number of car manuf. use them.(I'm thinking of Lambo,Subaru,Audi etc...).That's really a surprising comment coming from a canadian with all the nasty slush we have in winter.I really wouldn't mind an RS4 to toss around

As for incomptence, you can throw yourself in a ditch even with an awd!

Experience and knowledge.

Oh BTW, I owned an Audi Quattro for 3 years. I have some years of experience with Subaru too.

On road, AWD is a commodity, nothing else.

On road, It doesn't allow to go faster, is not safer and affects the precision of steering. It is less predictable than a FWD and not as much fun as RWD.

AWD is great for ultimate rallying on sand or ice, saving tires in races, overhype for the rest (save the commodity aspect).

I agree, AWD is really just an expensive waste of weight. I live in the south and could care less about snow or ice (hasn't snowed here since 1988). In the dry RWD is almost always faster than AWD......

The whole pic looks funny though - look at the road itself.
