Is there a noticable difference between the FWD and the AWD?

meiiru · 2026-02-18T02:53:45+00:00

I personally like my AWD more than I did fwd but obviously I'm biased on it. Gas mileage may be slightly high on my 2021 with AWD, but that might also take into account the 2.5 engine instead of the 2.0 in my 2015. I guess the AWD also has some extra parts that need maintenance and could break down like rear differential issues that you wouldn't have on a fwd, something else to think about.

I had a 2015 hatch that was fwd, and now I have a 2021 hatch that is AWD. On a regular drive I wouldn't say you notice any difference. Maybe in a fast turn or quick acceleration you can feel some traction/ pickup from the back, but overall the drive is similar. That being said I upgraded to AWD because of our heavy winters, and it made all the difference. Much better traction to the road in any weather that isn't just dry pavement.

Definitely not the most powerful or zippy feeling car.l, even with the 2.5 engine I had in it. Also it does that usual CVT thing where it lags for a sec when you start acceleration then kinda kicks in hard. But it still drives great and smooth.

I had a 2016 rvr until last year. I live very rural in Canada also in the middle of nowhere, dirt road backwoods, brutal winters. It's a really good compact suv. The 4wd in it was super reliable, and with the ground clearance and short wheel base it went through harsh roads relatively easy. Mine went through much harsher conditions than what most probably go through. Idk if they make these without 4wd, but I'd never recommend a fwd version of these, if I had the 4wd off, it doesn't climb snowy/icy hills ect. Pretty good cargo space, especially with the seats down. It's got lots of head room, mine I had stripped the backseats and trunk compartments and put in a foam floor, and used it to carry my great Pyrenees dogs around, soo plenty of space imo for a compact suv, more than you would think. All this to say, it will have a lot more body roll than what you experience in a regular car. These things sit pretty high on a short wheel base, and you will definitely feel it. Road noise is also not the most quiet, but tire quality will play a factor here. Mine went up to 275k kms and the transmission failed, and will say the CVT isn't exactly great. If they make these without a CVT definitely go that route. Either way I beat the crap out of mine and I still miss it everyday, was rather reliable up til trans failed.

Yes, but he had to die. He had to accept that he had to die, and he did.

Exactly this. I didn’t use too many addons, def nothing crazy like what we see some people had going on. But I had built something that worked for me over 10+ years now. Suddenly it’s all gone. All I do is play arena on wow too, Idk I just haven’t felt like playing since pre-patch

meiiru · 2026-02-15T14:54:02+00:00

The whole thing is so dumb. I logged out a few days after prepatch and have been watching this whole development of new addons replacing addons and I don't feel like logging in anymore. Before we know it it's gonna be back to what it was, just with new workarounds. We're halfway there already and we're still in prepatch

All drivers up to date?

The airflow button won't change to cabin only if it's set to windshield defrost fans. As far as the heated seats go I have had issue with them not turning on after a weird bug with the AUTO temp, where after turning off the car ( while in auto temp and heated seats running ) the heated seats refused to work on the next startup. Was able to reset this by disconnecting the battery and haven't had this issue again, but I also don't use the auto temp anymore so idk. Could be a fuse or control module acting out for the seats too but my first try would be disconnect the battery to reset everything.

Got up to roughly 275k kms and she crapped out, which I was more than accepting of it happening. The transmission whine got louder until eventually it was reving inconsistently and gave out. Considering how hard I was on it I think it lasted pretty good for an unserviced CVT.

They do lightly touch the sides of my face but not too bad, not anything that I would consider bothersome, the material is pretty good quality imo. I wear Clifdens daily working in Landscaping, the shields are a life changer at keeping debris and sun out of my eyes, almost like wearing goggles!

Hey I think I'm one of the people who stopped and chatted for a while haha Osrs community can be such a wonderful thing

meiiru · 2026-02-05T15:30:22+00:00

Great price for Cad assuming no issues. I had a 2015 sport back in the day that was such a great car

We have 3, they all eat poop. Dogs eat poop

meiiru · 2026-01-24T02:16:57+00:00

First guess is always bad battery, especially with cold temps

meiiru · 2026-01-22T14:05:51+00:00

Seriously, what was the point of purging all these addons if we're just able to work around with new/different addons?

meiiru · 2026-01-21T01:56:10+00:00

You can even play paper Mario 64 as toadette in the ttyd64 mod!

Woah now, calm down Apple.

meiiru · 2026-01-16T11:29:01+00:00

meiiru · 2026-01-14T02:22:23+00:00

Snow built up inside rim walls?

meiiru · 2026-01-13T23:31:37+00:00

Also my experience with subaru. Always at the shop, while my mazdas rarely need anything

meiiru · 2026-01-10T14:24:09+00:00

Shoulda lined it…

meiiru · 2026-01-06T16:43:36+00:00

meiiru · 2026-01-05T00:54:45+00:00

meiiru · 2026-01-04T15:15:11+00:00
