Jalopnik's "Down on the street" car for today should be recognizable. However the guy who wrote the post needs to be corrected about some things he said. I've been banned from commenting (long story) but perhaps someone else can speak up?

Yeah, those "incomprehensible, truck-ish 4WD selectors" are a real bear to figure out, I mean hi AND low??? Who can remember all that?

These write ups bug the crap out of me! It seams like they all have about the same amount of useful and factual information about the car....which isn't really any! They do a very slight amount of research, and then throw in their own opinions, which most of the time are from people that no little or nothing about cars! It's too bad because it then gives others bad impressions about the car!

I know nothing much about EA82's,

but i thought only the RX had F/T 4WD.

Yeah... I'll put my old "truckish" subaru against any of the new AWD ones on a deep snow covered dirt road.... I can use the low range to pull them out after they burn out their clutch

 

But they've probably never seen snow there either, I guess....

 

Seriously, the low range is one of the best things about old subarus, that allows them to do stuff that you'd never think a car could do.
