They haven't made cars Idiot Proof yet..

[bestposted]

AWW, "GET OUT" baahahah

[masterjedai828]

No offense, but this is why you don't let women drive, period.

[adribossnikokamp]

Nice car great engine! But don't in the water with it.cuz rost doesn't looks good lol

[idiotzrule]

Get out bitch Ill get it unstuck! lol

[dantheman1546]

@daekol anyone can tlk shit online u pussy bitch! suck a fat black n!

[daekol]

@dantheman1546 Yeah, and that proves you are a minor.

[dantheman1546]

you should be driftin on the sand, not diggin in the sand. daaaaaaaaang

[dc6532]

Oh and me NOT you!

[dc6532]

Daekol: regarding your comment, I am an OFF ROAD DRIVING INSTRUCTOR and have been for 10 years and been driving Land Rovers for 16 years at work. More recently in dusty places ;) so I think I do know what I'm talking about when I say you DO reduce TYRE pressure when driving in sand. As per other comments it increases the amount of tyre on the sand, and decreases the ground pressure applied. This is why certain high end serious off road vehicles have auto inflate/deflate devices fitted eg: Humv

[agerolimatos]

Not as stupid as the man who let her drive.!

[dc6532]

Daekol, do you know what you're on about? I'm an off road instructor and when driving on sand you DO lower your tyre pressure (tyre, correct spelling).

[daekol]

@dc6532 My fathers been in the tyre business since 1984. I wonder who knows best about tyres. You or me?

[dantheman1546]

@daekol i know more! Cuz i know how to spell TIRES! Idiot!

[scorpionsrt8]

ooops.

[zach00attack]

LAWLLL

[acenace24]

u cant do that in an AWD car idoits

[turkum075]

Audi quattro olsaydi problem yoktu! difirentiell e basarsiniz hersey ok ;) Audii respectt

[daekol]

Never EVER lower tire pressure to get better grip on newer tires. That was in the 80's. Tires on the market today doesnt get better grip with lower pressure on sand/snow etc... Trust me, ive tried. :D

[blosom2315]

@daekol WRONG  the very first thing you do when driving in sand is let your air pressure down!

[Matty231]

Yes never stop and start on soft sand haha, that can end up a problem.

[doublecheese1]

It's my wife who got stuck there , the main problem was her hard breaking on soft sand and tires not being deflated.... BTW the same year I bought myself a 2008 model Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2 DiD 4x4 , it has a 2x2 - 4x4 - 4HLc - 4 LLc - and a diff lock, after driving this baby on snow or sand or mud, you can easily say without any doubt Volvo XC70 is no off road car. My wife still drives the Volvo and she loves it much more than the Pajero... :)

[jchoops7yt]

I don't think the gender of the driver has anything to do with it. Just know how to drive in the sand and how to prepare for it (lowering tire pressure primarily). I am a Volvo fanatic as well, but while they are the safest cars if you get into an accident and they have the most comfortable seats of any kind of car, if you want the best AWD, you've got to go Subaru.

[Bajass00]

I believe the answer = Get A Subaru ! Even a woman will have a hard time getting one stuck. :-)

[OCquattro]

Is it really best to use worn tyres on sand? I'm driving down into the Sahara next month and thought new tyres would be a good idea?

[iamjesper]

One question: What do you really do when youre stuck in the sand? try to push, or just give full throttle? how do you get out of there? :P

[ETsthlm]

Women the only they can make a vovlo get stuck.....

[macman13]

Women+off road driving=???

[noddymannen]

volvo awd might be crappy but that is the most idiotic driving i have ever seen

[Jabberwockyinjuly]

Volvo awd is amazing, I drive on ice at 60mph and never have any problems.

[noddymannen]

yeah its great at driving on ice at speed but its not that good while driving on rough roads with slopes and stuff, i am a volvo fanatic but unfortunately volvo's awd are not the best compared to other, theyr solution with differential is simply wrong, the front wheels get stuck and does not get enough help from behind. this then is of course on bumpy roads not tarmac with snow and a bit ice on it

[Jabberwockyinjuly]

It has a 40/60 torque split when the viscous coupling engages. and 2003+ XC70s have an electronically controlled viscous coupling, so it will stay engaged for longer once it detects 1/7th of a tire rotation of slip.

[OCquattro]

I don't think having AWD is going to make any difference on ice doing 60mph when you need to stop.

[Jabberwockyinjuly]

That is why i have nokian Hakkapellitta 5 studded snow tires with a studless rubber compound.

[hovrashko]

i used to drive at 70mph on ice my FWD Camry, and what? The question how fast you can stop?

[glindseed]

beware of brilliant drivers.

[OlfArts]

I took our Mercedes ML320 on a similar run and the same thing happened and 6 guys had to help push, in front of a lot of bathers how embarrassing.

Did the same in my old Volvo 240 GL and it flew around, could've towed the Merc out, XD.

[KnoxKnowsBest]

should have bought a subaru outback.

[joathann]

yeah if you want to come even more stuck in the sand.

[Shelter93]

@joathann knoxKnowsBest is RIGHT the outbacks AWD is far SUPERIOR to the volvo.

[yaamatananda]

poor

[psychocycledad]

air out of tires tard

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

thats a awd it takes 10 sec of "putting" to get it up.

[Slurfs]

Seems pretty stupid that you have to floor it to make the rear tires move at all. I was actually considering this kind of car but after I have seen a few videos on how this AWD system works I think I will go for another car. The car's body is ok - a lot of room for stuff but what's the use if you can't get moving. Now I am looking for some subaru (looks horrible but performs better it seems)

[internationalantifa]

i love volvo

[tuintu]

aa Türkmüş lan bunlar!  :O

[ce96]

how stupid can this lady be?

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

lol it was a woman driving.. ^^

[downIoder]

take air out of the weel and then drive

[ChewmeBacon]

You don't even need to take air out of the tires. Just replace the air in the head of the person who doesn't know how to drive a regular car, yet alone an AWD.

[redfoxbody]

Please people, don't hate on volvo. This person is obviously inexperienced... i drive a 98 v70 xv as well as my stang, and i love that car. great on gas, looks nice, and its turbo'd and all wheel drive. Plus the sound system is great! what more could you ask for, heated seats, cuz i got that too ;)

[sgtcht92]

daamn riight.

[leifnoto]

yeah he obviously doesnt know how to drive, who floors it when you get stuck? everyone knows that doesnt do shit but get you deeper

[dantheman1546]

@redfoxbody i have the same car but a 99. i love it. perfect donut machine on snow and ice. i just recently put a cherry bomb muffler on it. sounds awesome! like a v8 actually. you should do it too. im 16 years old, and kids at school laugh at my car. but i shut em up in a race, i also put in a 15psi wastegate in the turbo, thats what shuts em up. they call it silver bullet. lol

[redfoxbody]

or parents of kids who think its funny to prank call walmart, you fagot ;)

[3boody2000]

Some drivers kills the cars they are driving like our good lady here!!!! This car can walk on the sand but not on the sea sand ?!!!!

[TheRealXesc]

Ever consider trying to reverse in your tracks to gain some acceleration forward again? Rather than hitting the gas and digging down, you clown!

This also works great in snow, btw.

[ShadowRejects]

kuz its fun it sand! u font burn rubber!

[arivera3426]

y ur mom have one.

[chipset150]

the end explains it all ;)

[boon4376]

you should have turned off the traction control, it maintains stability control, but doesnt brake wheels.. When the TCS activates the brake it causes you to dig in more. It only works good for light snow and slippery conditions where you CANT dig into soft surfaces.

[soberek]

Dumbass driver

[xxdeli54xx]

kadin pok etti arabayi :d turk erkegi gecti ama o cikarir onu kafanizi takmayin

[zidane444]

nothig like audi q7 !

its relay abig toy for playing with

[theironnursk]

Its a girl driving. thats the problem...

[Techmaster05]

yes indeed

[BermudaGreenNox]

First of all, NEVER step on that brake pedal. It's DISASTROUS!!!

[doublecheese1]

210hp--->290hp %38 lik bir artış var , bu chiple ve egzos degiştirmekle olacak bir sey degil. Bence yanlıs biliyorsun, araban 290 beygir olamaz. Ayrıca isterse 390bg olsun o sekilde kullanım hatası yaparsan yine kumda kalırsın ;))))

[sgtcht92]

A nice car you have there. Almost got out of the sand, but because the driver didnt keep the momentum, it got stuck...did you have to tow it out?

Oh well, I guess its a good lesson for the future lol

[doublecheese1]

You're right , because the driver did not keep the momentum the car got stuck.

We had to tow it out with a tractor, the tractor almost got stuck too :)))))

[sgtcht92]

lol im not surprised, it looked like fine sand, so even something like a land rover with sand tyres could have trouble without momentum.

[2hat]

the girl was driving...

[peakadvance]

IT'S THE INDIAN NOT THE ARROW

this vid is the best example..

[gtlegacy8]

y r some people comparing subaru and volvos.. i mean this video has nothing to do with it

[herborn]

learn to drive and take video

make everyones life beter

[Neztle]

i've drove a Kia Sportage 4X4 A/T '02 at the beach Dune..

Never ever hit the brake when you are cruising on the sand..

one stop = game over

even the differential has LSD..that will not help you when you stopped at the soft sand..

the only way is backing up...

[Einimas1]

lol never drive a kia on sand lol, same goes for hyunday

[xxxalpinexxx80]

bus bus bus, means stop stop stop, lol indian, pakistanies,muslims

[doublecheese1]

Come on man stop bullshitting around, what you said is exactly opposite of what is said there. BAS means STEP ON IT (on the gas pedal) so BAS BAS BAS means I'm desperatly asking my wife to step on that gas before we get stuck on that sand at the first day of New Year where everybody around is still sleeping or hang over from the party night before.

[doublecheese1]

The new Subaru Outback is not bad but I think the new XC70's real competiton is only Audi Allroad

[BJ4HAGA]

nice wheel-spinners

[tescofood]

Subaru rally cars cost about $400k. £200k. The little cheap models you have are much heavier... Rally Cars (Proper ones arent really road legal. And also Volvo are the safest cars in the world probably. The door on my dads C70 Coupe must be 6 Inches wide. And weighs about 2 Tonnes, not that good for rallying.. But will save you if you think your going to crash into a Subaru.

[Einimas1]

all rally cars have to be road legal

[acalthu]

no, all rally cars have to be based on a road going car.

[yourmomsahomo]

Does it really matter how good the car is if the person can't drive it this person slowed down thats the first thing not to do when driving on sand as you can see the AWD system was working as it should a Subaru wud have gotten stuck as well.

[yourmomsahomo]

I've been in a Subaru Legacy Wagon and a Volvo V70 XC the Volvo felt much more sporty had more room and had better aceleration and space :P

[tallazzFilipino]

so, you're saying subaru is made of plastic like a toy, and that they're not safe? lol

whatever the case, there has got be some reason why they're used in rallying. there has got to be some reason why they actually are considered safe vehicles. there has got to be some reason why they can do the pretty impressive things off-road. just search for them here on youtube. you'll be watching them all day long.

[Krisverde]

yes subaru is made of plastic just like a ford, and subaru is only safe after the people add all the rally shit on it like the cage and etc.

[roswellbliss]

Subaru is the only car company that every car they make has the hoghest gopverment crash test ratings for both front and side impact. How many off road rallye races has volvo won compared to Subaru? Also I guarantee you a Subaru Outback XT will blow the doors off of a xc70 any day of the week off road and 0-60

[jeffersonia]

how about 40-100? volvo for life.

[Krisverde]

Bull shit, volvo is much more safer than a subaru, and some volvos can whip subaru.

[thebrucetyler]

This is so pathetic I can't stop laughing.

[doublecheese1]

don't be stupid, there is a method to drive on the sand, read what's written as information ,that explains how to drive on sand. I'm a member of a 4x4 club, and I can show you many pictures of Subaru's, Range Rover's, Land Rovers, Toyota's geting stuck on sand. Any car may get stuck on sand, all you have to do is to do the tricks explained here.

[SineCalvin9]

you guys are morons. Subaru AWD is symmetrical, (the best). the engines are of superior design, and pacement, CG is better. i agree, Volvos kick ass, but an Outback caould have done that better. I know because i have one, have raced it in RCCA, and driven it for fun through all the sand you can find. never been stuck in the sand.

[gkondylis]

The Subaru maybe made of plastic and not have "kwality" but at least it drives like a car. The Volvo is made of of (heavy) metal and drives like a tank. I know, I drove both before buying my Outback XT.

[doublecheese1]

I probably think you have never ever seen a tank in real life and you don't know how they drive , Volvo XC70 is much more superior to any Subaru at quality and it's absolutely faster than the Forester or the Outback for sure.

[timsvtgen1]

i found the problem.. its between the front and the rear diff its the woman.

[chillywit]

Subaru AWD is far superior and less expensive

[dcsolorunner]

lol Sabaru would have pwned that shit.

[Animalsguard]

Owned, not pwned...

[samihasib]

how did u get the car out at last ?

[doublecheese1]

The towing trucks didn't want to tow me as they could also easily get dig in the sand trying to pull me. So someone brought a tractor to save us.

While trying to pull me, the tractor also started to dig in but after some short he managed to move me and I was rescued :)

[mauricera]

BOOOOOORRRRIIINNNGG

[Airox180]

The Haldex System is used by Audi but only on the A3/S3 models. The quattro system on other Audi models uses a center differential with a viscous clutch. The quattro system is a fulltime awd system.

[zhengjdc]

I think u need a subaru to do so, xc70... u must be joking.

[doublecheese1]

I think you need to learn about driving on the sand before making such stupid comments, any 4x4 could get stuck there, just read the information written about the video, it's not about the car, it's about the driving style makes you get stuck.

[Airox180]

Actually the AWD system in your Volvo isn`t the best for sand at all. Power is only sent to the rear wheels when the front wheels start to spin. Since this takes a moment, the front wheels allready start to dig themselves into the sand before the rear wheels start turnin. Fulltime AWD is the better choice, as it comes in an Audi Allroad Quattro for example.

[atomicfire001]

The Volvo and Audi\VW AWD system are both the same system, called Haldex. The Volvo one is actually better, its reaction time is quicker than the version used in VW's and Audi's.

[sgtcht92]

precisely. and also, a full time AWD system doesnt exist-the whole concept of an AWD system is that power is relayed to wheels depending on traction. there is full time 4WD however.

[simonddavies]

TRANSLATION: "Get out of the car woman!"

[chruch86]

hahahahaha! bravo valla :)

bidaha frene yawas basarsiniz...

[Dog328]

hmmm, u braking too hard :/

[doublecheese1]

Neither did I :) It was just the first day of 2007 and we were driving home from a new year party, when I saw the deserted beaches I couldn't resist driving into the sand :)

[austinsfd]

wow! i never saw that coming! lol j/k

[DeLorean4]

The video isn't all that exciting but I must say that the info given about driving in the sand is very, very constructive and thorough.
