actually, if im not mistaken, AWD is only advantageous on pavement when the road is wet or otherwise traction-inhibited.
when its dry, RWD allows the highest performance on-road (save for a standing start, where the traction advantage of AWD allows quicker standing-start acceleration), with the potential for less understeer than AWD.
iirc din, awd is inherently setup for understeer...
bad trip yung stock tires ng outlander. awd nga siya, it still manages to break free (yes, mild-moderate understeer), dulas ng yokohama geolander oem rubber. samantalang yung fuego wouldn't even to an FR drift at the same corner. hehehe...
