Subaru Outback H6 3.0 2002 & Subaru Otback 3.0 2005 in a snow field

What is the difference in the drivetrain between manual and automatic? Is it true that manual is better in deep snow or mud?

@TheAnabolicMutation Again, apples to oranges. And in no way was I being arrogant. If you see a harmless comment as arrogant, then that's just kind of sad.

And if you think your Lexus can dust me; sadly, you're mistaken.

@TheAnabolicMutation That just comes off as ignorant, no? It's all to do with taste.... And a couple hundred bucks to get the car painted.

Why do people never think is beyond me.

All is simple, the VCD has been OFF !!!

[TheJoePepper]

Wow, that is really interesting to see the weird performance of the tow car, with the rear wheel spinning that much. I thought there was a system that braked the wheels that spin so the traction goes to the other side. I am seriously rethinking my purchase of an Outback. Good news for Audi I guess.

@TheJoePepper The systems are different on the manual transmissions. If you don't buy a manual Outback, you might as well not even own one. What's great about Subaru, is they use a viscous coupling. One wheel can pull the entire weight of the car up an incline. Here is a good video. The Subaru's are automatic, for comparison reasons, but the manuals are better than the automatics, so bare in mind. /watch?v=ooQRxlChvMw

@Streetracingpunk72 Thanks for the info. I have found that viscous couplings are inferior to torsen differentials, which they happen to exclude in that video. I wish Subaru would make a manual H6 Outback! :)

@TheJoePepper same here! i love my '02 H6-3.0 but it would be aweseome to have it manual.

@TheJoePepper Hey hey hey don't go buying an audi... it's because the VDC is off so it doesn't brake the wheels. When it's on it brakes them like me Outback (mines a 2001) and it's VDC is great, it brakes the wheels very well and I can easily manuveur over obstacles as if it had LSD's / lockers on both axles.

[TheJoePepper]

@Matty231 Haha thanks for the advice. Yes VDC should be on in that situation. It took Subaru a few years to catch up and put one of these systems in place, but it's a great addition.

Nice video. Too bad Subaru is not original with it car designs. The Subaru Outback is just a more modern version of the AMC eagle. That was the first cross over and it came out in 1980. Wonder what took Subaru and this other companies so long to make cross overs plus the AMC eagle handles better in snow and it is 15 years older. Subaru bunch of non original copy cats.

i just moved from florida to colorado and sold my truck and got a great deal on a 02 black ltd in real clean condition....this vid should show more of the black one i love the 02 all black....those look like stock rims from an 05 and up and anyone know where he got those aftermarket headlights and taillights?????

[zoomzabba]

I have a 1999 Outback and live in the Colorado rocky mountains. even with summer tyres i've never gotten stuck in snow. Problem is, Subaru keeps making the cars Heavier.

[lee420911]

[73DrtSprt]
