I've owned a 2001 WRX, plus I have a choice of an XR6 and a territory as a company cars.

So a fair comparison for drivetrains.

I have owned 3 XR5's....

Without a doubt...WRX through the dirt and on wet roads..Good all rounder.

XR6 and Terry...Great for long distance comfy travel..

XR5...My personal choice for a hot hatch..I admit, I fitted a Quaife LSD for more secure cornering as I'm running an agressive tune, but a good fun car overall, and hence why i have purchased 3 of these puppies.I love the twisties, but thats just personal choice.

The poll standing show how clearly biased this forum is because of all the falcon owners here :P

The discussion is good though.

My pref is 4WD! RWD comes second though.

4WD for obvious reasons. And RWD, not a fan of torque steer and helps when youve got 400 kilos in the back. I dont drag race or slide around but that would be two more valid reasons

Completely pointless post, Contribute or get lost.

I've got another thread idea in mind, might keep it to myself until this poll expires though.

i did contribute mate, i said this was a pointless thread. you've got a forum dominated by people with RWD vehicles. If you don't know the result of the poll before you post it, you must be a little bit "special"...


i'm just wondering how many of the people voting or talking up AWD have actually had/driven one on a regular basis in all types of road conditions??
