When Rav4 came out awd sucked. It was too slow to engage.
People were complaining that the front tires would start slipping
before they'd engage. It might be better now but if I were
in a market for a brick I'd get a forrester. At least
the awd is engaged at all times with 50/50 front to back split.
When it helps to keep it on at all times?
It's when you start to skid :-)
