Just want to mention the Suzukis, and in particular their all grip system. You can get it on the Vitara and S-Cross.

So it runs in 'economy' mode in fwd and sends torque back when it detects slip, it has a sports mode with I guess better shifting, it has a snow mode that sends 66/33 front to rear - I think continuously, at all speeds. And it's got a lock mode that goes 50/50 front to back, all with the traction control able to brake the wheels.

Some of the faux AWD systems will disconnect the AWD over 40km/h - so useless.

This Suzuki one seems like a great idea, oh, and you get a 6 speed torque converter auto with your turbo petrol motor. It makes the cars a bit like a cross between the Subies and the AE95 Corolla of the 1990s, which did have a real AWD system. Analog gauges and (be still my heart) buttons to turn off the lane change and auto braking complete the simple, driver in control aspects of the car.

Had no idea this existed in the new car market.
