Excellent would be a stretch. They will be a variation on a Haldex system, and you’d have to look up which variation your particular model has.

I’ve yet to see a haldex type system(the type typical on FWD platforms) consistently outperform Subaru.

Nissan fans like you and I are the hardest hit by their fall.

Always buy certified used. The Subaru CPO program with gold warranty is a great deal and you can save thousands.

If you don’t buy Subaru, still buy used if the CPO warranty is good and cheap.

What is your budget?

Subaru CVTs drive like shit but not near as unreliable as Nissan units. Different manufacturers. I don’t know what chickens they sacrificed but it works.

I’m just here to chime in and tell you Nissans are trash now, and are a shadow of what they were.

Also none of their AWD systems are any good outside the GTR and their trucks. Their CVT transmissions are fragile and the computer will protect it at all costs. They’ll disengage drive wheels and pull power if any threshold is reached(temp, load, etc)

If AWD is a priority, the only logical choice is an EV. No ICE passenger vehicle AWD system can compare to having a motor per axle, or a motor per wheel. Unfortunately Nissan evs are a joke too.

My short summary is that if you’re serious about wanting awd and want an ice car, get a Subaru. If you’re serious about awd and want an rv, plenty of dual and some tri/quad motor options out there.

If you stick with fwd ice just buy anything but a Nissan or Mitsubishi.

You understand it’s historically significant, but don’t know why anyone would pay for it?

Not an inkling?

If your empathy isn’t broken, this is a good troll.

To prove you’re a knowledgeable gun owner you should probably refrain from framing the AR-15 as a good long range weapon. It’s passable, but not what one would pick for a long range shot.

I agree with your tautology, and it is an interesting point. I also agree with building communities.

I also agree with the fact that punching Nazis is ineffective.

I think the allies in WW2 brought other things to bear to solve that problem.

You’re not seriously putting up the model 3 against a BMW or Lucid are you?

[–] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Model S starts at 66k.

Define best. The lucid air beats the model S in almost every metric, and BMW offers several good sedans with actual interiors made for humans.

[–] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah, hard agree. There are likely technical benefits to being able to extract a pure image from a real snes, but art-wise it’s not for the best.

Conservatives think project 2025 is the latest silly liberal conspiracy from sad people who have “Trump Derangement Syndrome”.
