Recommended Posts

Great video, with lots of car comparisons, Honda CRV, Volvo XC 70 and 90, Tribecca, Outbacks, Foresters, LGT's and others...

NO fair, the subies had VDC/TCS so were able to apply brake to individual spinning wheels to compensate.

 

True...

 

But the other cars also have some sort of Stability/Traction control like our VDC...

They also mentioned they had Subaru sales people in the other cars. So obviously the video is biased towards Subaru performing better.

 

Well Duh! Yet still very compelling show. I've been cross shopping Volvos with Subies and this video has been helpful. I can't believe the Volvos performed so poorly, especially in the water/accident avoidance tests. All the Subies were well planted and controlled in each exercise. Very cool!

How do you know it wasn't the Subaru sales people purposely driving out of control? You don't. Unless it was done independantly, don't believe everything you see. I can hop into any Volvo AWD vehicle and turn it into FWD only if you know the trick and it doesn't even involve pulling fuses.
