WOW thanks for the vid!!
That is some awesome FWD performance.
I really checked out the back of the hatchback and saw now 4wd badge...
Maybe I'll skip the complexities of the AWD system. But changing out the fluids in the diff etc. would be simple for me to do, so it wouldn't bother me for the added maintenance for the AWD.
Would just like to have the mags and extra goodies that come with the FWD model trim one level up that costs the same as the AWD version.
If FWD did this well in snow that deep, I can imagine the AWD CR-V would be amazing.
The reasons I am not really looking at Subaru is I just like Hondas better, better resale, more popular, and less fuss for parts and repairs.
Also, Honda uses a conventional engine. I am really not a fan of the Boxer engine at all. It just doesn't add any real world benefit in a family hauler.
Also, I think for autos Subaru is heading towards CVT... I really don't like CVTs at all. And if the 2013 model auto is still offered without CVT it is a 4 speed trans. Even my Fit has five speeds, so that is another oddity.
CR-V just seems to be a more regular car, and Honda "Ugly Stick" designs attract me. Subarus looks don't really appeal to me, but they don't really turn me off either.
