That's so true. It's one of my 'beefs' with Subaru drivers. They think that their regular Subaru is safer because it has AWD - that it has 'saved' them when they had to quickly brake or turn. It's rubbish - both of those situations AWD is a disadvantage! And with a 100kw car, unless you're driving 'irresponsibly' in the rain, the AWD won't be an advantage in acceleration either!
