OK now that the snow season is coming up quick in the Northeast I started to reminisce about my touareg vs wrx (92x) in the snow.
Quick story. I always heard that the touareg is so good off-road.... I took it in heavy snow last year to aa short hill my friends and mess with on snowmobiles and trucks. Started at base of hill and didn't get far. Backed up and tried different settings on the differential knob. Still didn't get far. Grass hill with 3-4" of snow. 70-60% tread life on bridgestone dueller alenza tires. Went home and grabbed my 07 Subaru turbo, put it in D and climbed without an issue. Fairly good tread life on all season tires.
Another time in Vermont skiing it snowed overnight and it was 6" or more in the driveway. Couldn't even move and those all season tires were 3 months old ! My friend had to pull me out with his 2013 jeep. Before I sold the Subaru I would take that in mud, heavy snow and feel 100% more comfortable driving and leave the touareg at home. Whats going on ? 2006 3.2 with 65k.
