AWD info?

Im 15 almost 16 and am looking for a car (Talon haha) and i was wondering about some info on these cars:

With the AWD cars, is there a button you press to get it into AWD or does it just kick in kind of like a posy?
Are these reliable cars (esi,tsi,etc)?
Price range?
Problems coming out of factory such as leaks etc?
Stock times?
Anything else?

Thanks in advance,
Pizzzle

unless youre not paying for insurance i wouldn't even think about getting a tsi awd, because thats a sports car, and about a $300 a month insurance payment, unless you have some way around it, just get the stock model and don't mod it

OF course these cars are reliable depending on how hard you want to beat on them.
The trannys are a diffrent case thought.

I am only 14 {and a girl} , to solve the insurnce problems buy a non turbo car switch engines with a turbo or convert. YOu won't pay that extra bit of money.....
Stock turbo awd cars runs a high 14 usally depending on the driver/car
Pricing depends on who you buy it off Look for people who don't know what they are doing {usally teenage guys who drive hondas just my experience} It is not ripping them off you are just getting the better half of the deal...............

True about the trannys, and theres a batch of DSM's that might have a problem with crankwalk that would need to be fixed as soon as possible. Also, most people that buy an NA Talon and convert it to a turbo will tell you just to pay that little extra and buy the TSi in the first place. It's just too much trouble to convert it, and you will probably want to insure your brand new turbo if you put one in, otherwise it would be at least $3000 down the drain if you were in an accident (hopefully not, but you never know).
I like your view on guys who drive Hondas, lol.

sorry i just don't get along with people who drive them. I have rules people says it my religion!!!

I am part of SLOWBOYRACING and work on some of their customers cars
I like working on cars so i won't complain about converting and stuff
{I bought a Non turbo automatic to make a turbo/stick for the fun of it... a winter project but i went out and bought another car an hour ago so I am parting out the automatic along with my other 11 parts cars..You get my point I am not the average person}

a DSM is to some parts a money pit but when it drives its loveely nothing like 18 lbs of boost to start your day...depends on what you but...crankwalk thats a 2g problem so if you can find a 1g get it..

and um..90awd.....not ALL honda's are slow.....you just get to meet a lot of the DUMB honda owners...... im not talking s#!T.. but i have a honda, awd talon and im about to get a WRX.... im just one of the smart honda/talon owners.... thats all.

ok so now you say "not all of them" which one is it? and there are just about as many rice boys/(and gals) in the DSM community as in the honda...i see that too.
