QUOTE(kadajawi @ Jan 4 2014, 05:52 PM) Have you considered the alternatives, that are better equipped? Ford Kuga, CBU ASX, ...? thanks for the input..hmm now i think the 4wd is a good dealHill start assist lets you start driving up a hill without having to use the handbrake. Will a CVT roll back when you are in D but not on the gas? With a torque converter it's unnecessary, with a DSG or manual gearbox it is. Just not sure about CVT. Traction control stops your tires from spinning when accelerating hard, which is good if your car has a lot of hp, or you drive on snow, ice, ... probably not so important. I think the only case where you could actually use it is if you drive through mud. However it is a part of: Active stability control. And this is a must have feature. You are much less likely to crash/die in an accident with it. If you don't care about your life... resale value after a bad accident is kind of bad. So even for RV people it is important. They reckon that ESP/ASC etc. is more important in saving lives than airbags. Which doesn't mean you should not get as many airbags as you can, of course (and 2 is too little). |

QUOTE(ada7914 @ Jan 5 2014, 10:29 AM) this is SUV, and its the cheapest and realiable, the downside is the 2wd doesnt incluse stability control, if they add 2 more air bag and stability control sure many ppl buy |
