MotoringFile has an article with photos reporting on the fun of driving the ALL4 in the mud for a week. It includes a pretty good explanation of how the all-wheel drive works and how GREAT if performs, with some comparisons. I couldn't agree more.

The pictures show why you want the front mud flaps...

I only have mud flaps on the front. When I first saw the pictures I thought to myself, "And this why I bought mud flaps." I see a little spray around the area in front of the back tires. No sure if mud flaps would of helped there. I was thinking about getting back mud flaps. Lets see how the winter goes here in Southern Ohio then I will decide.

 

I think the spray in front of the rear wheels also came from the front wheels, and the rear mud flaps wouldn't have helped. I think the rears are for the next car in line, especially after noting that the back end of the ALL4 was pretty darn clean!

 

Thanks for posting this link. It sealed the deal.
