RE: First kill in audi
WRX are nice cars if you just want to have a family car with a lil more power than lets say a accord or camry and will still be enjoyable in the winter.
i drive an RS 2 door and its a dedicated winter car plus long a$$ trip car .. they really are reliable cars and will take a beating just to ask for more, plus the damn door and rear panels are sure much easier to take off than our TTs .. (sorry frustrated from last night)

I was just quoting this thread, and accidentally submitted it.
Nothing to see here, move along people, move along.

Seriously... Audi needs to stop advertising on celica websites.
We are going to have more ex-celica owners than actual TT owners here soon.

Argh the color ****'s getting OLD[:'(]
Anyway yeah WRX's have full time AWD which holds them back at high speed...TT's have Haldex[sm=happy046.gif]AWD without the drivetrain loss.

Haldex
What: Automatic all wheel drive (on demand).
Haldex multiplate clutch with electronic control acting as a center differential.
Open rear differential, EDL on some models (not proved).
Open front differential, EDL.
How: Normally front wheel drive vehicle. In normal driving conditions near 100% of torque transferred to front axle. When slipping occurs, Haldex multiplate clutch locks and up to near 100% of torque is automatically transferred to rear axle. Haldex clutch offers instant activation – it locks as soon as one driveshaft travels just 1/8 of a turn further than the other. Front wheels do just 1/4 of a turn before AWD is activated. Accompanied by EDL on front wheels, in on-road conditions the car will not move if both front and one rear wheels lose traction.
Again, due to limitations of Electronic Differential Lock (see quattro IV description above), in off-road conditions it is enough for one front and one rear wheel to lose traction and the car will not move.
The Haldex system is more reactive than preventative; the Torsen's even power split under non-slipping conditions makes slipping less likely to start, while the Haldex's greater torque split under slipping conditions is helpful for recovery.
Haldex Electronic Control Unit disengages the clutch as soon as brakes are applied to allow ABS work properly; it also disengages the clutch when handbrake is pulled to allow “handbrake turns”. When performing tight low-speed turns (e.g. parking) the clutch is disengaged by Electronic Control Unit to avoid wind-up in transmission.
