He probably will, I heard that guy is an a-hole.

Well.. if that's the case. What can we do?

Guess, we'll just have to live with it then...

 

2014 AWC SNOW REVIEW!

 

Well considering it was offroad and deep snow the outlander sport did pretty well. I know going through about a foot on the road is not an issue so considering offroad and that much snow, its not surprising it wasnt without hiccups. Perhaps with better all season tires(dont have much experience with Nexen) they might have had a less worrying time or of course with snow tires.

I hope they test it off road during dry times like all the others.

 

Up a snowy hill.

This is good to know >
Switching 2WD 4WD LOCK modes at high speed

 

Yeah ma'n, it's Jamaica ma'n...




This is an odd demo.

 

Lol, he compared that flood test to a tsunami. I've driven through deeper water in NYC than that little puddle.

 

Guess things are just smaller over in his neck of the woods.
If he drove around here and hit some of our floods... he'll probably think it's the North Shore of O'ahu.

******************

Thought about that last video (of driving backwards demo...)

I guess that's one of the BIG Plus with our CVTs, we have just the same infinite amount of gearing going backwards as going forwards. Which allows us to hit just about the same MPHs going in reverse.

Unlike standard transmissions which usually only have one single gear for reverse and wouldn't be able to hit nearly 55MPH without redlining.

 

What an odd talent... but I suppose that would help explain the "Guinness World Record" that the 2011's hold...

 

Folding mirrors? What?!

 

And, Who would have guessed anyone needed to break the World Record > going around a SQUARE course in the fastest time? The japanese are strange..

Yeah.. You haven't seen that?
The ASX's has had those from the start! We been jipped!!
That's why I started a thread about TRYING to modded/add folding-mirrors from Way early ago, HERE.

Also, what's with the new 2.2L Diesels?! What a little beast w/ 265 ft.lb. Torque, nice.
So, how come our 2014s get reduced features and NO engine options...

 

in the snow..

 

Wow that was a 2wd? I'm impressed..

 

I know, right.
But, who knows.. They may have good snow tires on this vehicle.


And, here's another vid of a very scenic drive up a snowy mountain.

 

True that, gives me hope my 2wd...If that's all due to snow tires I'm officially sold on them.


That mountain road looks amazing, if it were up to me that's where my all my time would be spent..

I've had mine since January and today I got my 7500 check up done.. Next up is a trip to Cali.
