Automotorsport: Audi 2.0T vs 325ix vs IS250 vs C230 and more

[Just_me]

Swedish Automotorsport and their wintertest.

1. BMW 325ix
2. Audi A4 2.0Tq
3. Lexus IS250
4. Mercedes C230
5. Subaru Legacy 3.0R
6. Saab 93 Aero

The winner is 325ix. The car wins 4 categories and have a high level in the rest of the categories. Lexus is the most fun car to drive (RWD) because the 325 has xDrive and they didnt think it was fun on the bimmer so they recommended RWD over xDrive. If you want AWD then choose A4 or Legacy instead. Lexus impress the test team but not very spaceful, tight inside.

Well technically, the Xdrive system is mostly rear wheel drive so...
I don't get it. THey said if you want fun, pick the RWD Lexus... if you want AWD, pick Audi. So if you want something in the middle, pick the BMW? How did the car win?

They never liked the previous version of xdrive, this was better but not as good as they hoped for.

They don't have to be either, since Saab isn't Swedish anymore

AM&S did a test with AWD cars and they say that A4 is the best AWD but still BMW gets the victory? Those Swede dudes are nuts.
