Did it ever dump rain last night in Sydney.
First time I have driven consistently in streaming water (Burns Bay road was a river..that central strip in the windy bit at the bottom just is a dam for the water)
Having had Falcons and commodores (and japanese front drivers) have to say AWD really comes into its own in conditions like that. Loved the Subie in the past for that, and now appreciate the Ralliart that much more.
Not an engine hiccup, not a noticable wheel slip, brakes just worked. Even with 1/2 worn advans....not a problem.
I remember the bad old days..... bad old cars
PS the broken down BMW and Volvo all hate those good Aussie "flooding rains" Come on the Ralliart group buy. You can all appreciate the benefits of awd. What is your life worth? P
