Re: Looking for manual AWD car
Like syracuse, salt is unavoidable here. But I am now undercoating my cars at Krown and I do believe that will slow down the corrosion considerably.
Ironically, Volvos and Jags seems to score low in the same area which is with the interior parts. I am looking into them more closely on a year by year basis but I don't recall either being particularly reliable in my previous research. Complicating things is that I am getting conflicting ratings from various sources. One has the Legacy, for example, rated quite high while another says the reliability is average, at best. Only the civic si rates well across the board. The same two sources completely flip for the Impreza where the first says it is horrible and the second says it is average to quite good, depending on the year.
Another thing on the Volvo S60 R is that the fuel economy is pretty bad. Not sure about the Jag yet.
