    Why not ? I mean max power at 6500 rpm or a bit more, not very abnormal

    Gabe said it is a compact, but on the wiki it is listed as a midsize, so which is it?

    Both. Compact executive, in american terms.

    Midsize, in european terms.

    So... 3-Series sized :p

    It needs a stronger front driveshaft. I rear end something and it breaks

    I know, but still a little unrealistic, and very annoying

    again, km/h? mph? m/s?
    if that's mph, that's perfectly realistic, a car should be completely buggered from a collision at that speed.

    It doesn't seem unrealistic for the front driveshaft to disconnect in that kind of impact. The sudden amount of G force was probably enough to just snap the driveshaft off of the center diff

    2g is not enough to break a driveshaft

    That's some pretty serious damage (car totaled), I don't see anything wrong with a driveshaft breaking there. Keep in mind, this is not an american pickup truck...

    it just seems that the front subframe moves and that crushes the driveshaft, then the transfercase doesnt let the car move because of where the power gets sent to
