PP performed admirably. Granted I don't believe any "extreme" offroading was done, I did drive in several off-pavement roads. Some instances of less than 4 wheels of traction during incline and not-ideal surfaces. I always took the easiest line for the vehicle that would prevent clearance issues.

One road was so bad that I had to air-down the tires. I think I went from 38 (hot) to 30 (hot) which I know does not sound like a lot but it made a hell of a difference. I didnt really want to air down much because I've not used the air-pump that I had in the car. After using it for the first time, and pumping air in (what feels like) seconds, I'll probably lower to 28 or even 25 next time.

That said, there will definitely be a next time. There is no doubt the AWD system is up for the job. The only limitation I can imagine would be clearance. I would prefer a 1.5" lift all around to see if that's enough for the more "challenging" trails.

I heard Audi Quattro is pretty legendary. The TT, unfortunately, has a fake quattro (haldex) system. But when driving from Dallas two years ago during SNOVID, the car just kept on going. Slippery but you want to go? Sure!

While I've experienced Land Cruiser (80 series) triple locker performance when I was younger, from my recent experience the ease of operation and (what seems like) just-as-good capability of the iVTM4 is awesome.

These days it’s all in the programming. Subaru uses two open diffs and with good software programming can go through stuff you normally wouldn’t with a unibody vehicle.
