I'm hoping someone here knows something about the Q4 system. I can't find anything specific about what type of system it uses.
I live in Canada and require AWD but with the entire car industry moving to cheaper AWD systems I am leery to buy a Giulia until I understand what type of system they use.
Last year I bought one of the new Audi S3s and was very disappointed. They use a Haldex system which is quite simply terrible. I got rid of the car within 4 months.
My problem is that I have had a Subaru STi and now drive a Mitsubishi Evo X. Both of those cars are designed to drive at high speed in slippery conditions. I spent quite a lot of time in my cars at the track in the rain. I also like to drive fast in the snow which requires a very quick AWD system. The Audi is designed for "safety" so it fights you if you throw it around. It also didn't have LSDs, it uses the brakes to simulate an LSD and it simply doesn't work for how I like to drive. The good news for me is that the Giulia AWD system is rear biased and I can order it with a rear LSD so there is hope.
I had a chance to check out the new Giulia at the dealership in Burlingame recently and quite liked it but didn't have time to go for a test drive. I would really appreciate any insight anyone of this forum may have as to what is really under the skin.
