Typically systems like that are not as good in ice and snow. Additionally it will require maintenance.

Anybody going to consider the Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT? It kicked butt on S4 (B7) and 335i - Bada Bing 2008-09-29 11:09:33 (488 views)

Who in their right mind would want to be seen in such an ugly monstrosity? The end. - SFV A4 2008-09-30 00:03:46 (42 views)

Funny how the 335i was ranked behind the S4. Some people here thought it's the king - justhacking 2008-09-29 19:54:15 (60 views)

The Acura TL SH-AWD nose looks like a platypus, and is too large - m444 2008-09-29 12:10:14 (107 views)

When I first saw the pictures of the 2010 TL I honestly thought they were a spoof. - Bob58 2008-09-29 11:58:58 (122 views)

That depends on which version of "Quattro" you're talking about. - Bob58 2008-09-29 13:19:17 (133 views)

this TL, ugliness aside, is a beast. A few mods and it'll make for a great impromptu track toy - crespo 2008-09-29 11:24:10 (123 views)

Yes, the car, engine, SH-AWD, technology is superb. But the front grille/styling kills it. - Mobilehavoc 2008-09-29 11:12:50 (77 views)
