Both parents have AWD cars. Dunno if dad has 4WD, you tell me (GL420)

I'm pretty sure the GL uses 4matic which is a AWD system

yes, it does use 4matic. AWD it is then

Mid engined RWD so best of both worlds, kinda.

Thanks It's a '95 Toyota MR2 turbo;

AWD - much better handling and grip during acceleration, especially in snow which have loads of during winter.

That depends though, for instance cars that were fwd but made to be awd, such as a Calibra Turbo which uses a transfer box that burn out and die all the time / fail

cars with true awd or intelligent awd, such as R33 GTR

RWD is more fun when it's slippery and icy ...
RWD is more fun if you have a powerful rear engine vehicle ...

AWD is better in rough conditions ...

FWD is more practicable as mentioned because most cars have the engine in front ...

I currently have a FWD 177hp Toyota Auris X ...

Nice! I was going to buy a Turbo, but I heard they brake break down a lot. Do you get any problems with yours?
I got myself a '99 Coupe Only 60 on the clock

Nice! Cosmos blue rev 5

As for reliability, I've had mine for just over 2 years now and not one thing has gone wrong. Currently running circa 280BHP but should be nearer 320-330 once I've set the boost controller up properly and fit/have mapped the Apex-i PFC (mappable ECU) I've got the rev5 rear spoiler on mine too, best one Just don't have a photo of it

Hey, someone called it by its proper colour! Everyone just says "yeah, its purple". /facepalm

Ah, good to know. A mechanic friend of mine said he gets more Turbos in for repairs than any other MR2. Perhaps its the country roads Had mine a year and a half, had a smashed windscreen (damn stone) and thats it.
And, despite my picture, my aerial does work now That was taken the day I bought it actually.

Well it is purple, no matter what you call it ...

Well turbos are a little more tricky, with the roads the way they are now mine will spin the rear wheels on less than half throttle in 2nd with ease But in terms of actually reliability as I said, it's a good car. I've owned 3S-GTE pwoered cars now (2 Celica GT4's before the '2) for coming on close to 11 years now and other than a rad I've replaced nothing other than servicable items on any of the 3 cars.

Restricted to Toyota and Lexus ... I work at a dealership

Have driven the LS600h hybrid though, amazing car tbh

Fact remains

My cousins husband works at a mitsubishi dealership, he was once tasked with driving a Evo IX back to the showroom from a car show..
He might have taken a slight detour
