driving behavior rs2000 4x4
Hello,
I´m thinking of buying an escort rs 2000 4x4 in addition to my Focus RS mk1 for winter use.
The focus isn´t really the kind of vehicle for driving or drifting in snow.
My question is how the awd in the rs2000 "feels". I mean I read already a lot about the technical specifications of the awd in the escort.
40%f/60%r torque split doesn´t sound too bad, also the viscous lock middle differential lets me hope that it´s good to drift on snow.
I have already made some really bad experiences with some haldex driven AWD´s, because they have a quite similar to a front driven car.
If there is anyone who has already driven a rs2000 4x4 on snow, or other slippy conditions, I would like to know if the car is controlable enough and has enough grip on the front axle to be fun to drive on snow.
Thanks for your answers,
Stefan
