Sounds like a wrong tire problem, not an AWD problem to me.

My parents also had a 2014 Forrestor. They parked it next to my shed when they went on a cruise one winter, and it crawled itself out of a 2 foot snowbank without shovelling it when they got back. That thing was a tank in snow and I definitely abused it when I had the chance.

For the 'tire spinning in the air', sounds like the other tires must have been spinning too so there wasn't anywhere to transfer the power to, but I'm only guessing.



I agree. My RWD 350Z with winter tires would probably have handled both of those situations without batting an eyelash.


Nope just one wheel. Factory tires. I like everyone telling me it’s my fault for not having the right tires. Lol. Like the claims Subaru makes are only valid if I spend a grand on tires for my new car. If you have to tie yourself in knots to justify marketing you can fuck right off.

Doesn't matter if you like it, it matters that they are right and you are wrong.

I will fuck off but that doesn't make you right, just obstinately wrong.

This applies to literally every car ever made, and doubly so to those that have open differentials. Every single car manufacturer on earth provides cheap tires from the factory to keep the sticker price down. You can either get mad or you can learn something. Good luck to you.


Same to you.
