Hello SCF members!
I just wanted to quickly share my driving impressions now that I have done so:
Long test drives now complete on both FWD and AWD Cruz's. Both is Southern California with 70* weather.
WHOA!!! The difference is markedly noticeable!
The FWD: While lively and spirited, is underwhelming at take off with lots of yaw. Mid corner lift's are scary, just testing. Even smooth roll on's out of the corner does not yield any real feedback, and on tight corners, it just binds.
The AWD: This set up is nothing short of "confidence inspiring" during all of the above scenarios. It's surefootedness, lack of body roll, and driving dynamics really makes this HTrac option something that will CHANGE your Cruz for the better and is money very well spent!
I hope this short review helps my fellow forum members.
Feel free to ask any questions or for any additional color
Have a great day!
