RWD G's don't go in the snow..Pics..
Ya...I have some good All-Seasons, but once the temperatures drop below 40 (the high in UT has been in the 30's all Winter) the tires are pointless.
I'm currently in the process of finding a cheap set of 17" snows.

You might be low on fluid but I doubt it. Take your car to any shop that does free brake estimates and ask them to measure your pad thickness. Take that measurement and cross reference with the service manual for excepted pad thickness. Most likely this is the issue, and probably the cheapest one to fix.
Please don't add fluid, because that will fix the symptom but to nothing do fix the problem.

My sister and her BF (both have subarus) keep telling me the car is gonna suck in the snow no matter what kinda tires i have and its not going to move. They keep filling this mis-information into my parents heads to. But the only thing thats keep my parents from saying no to this G is the fact that the AWDs are about 22k haha

Psst, just to let you know AWD will not save you if you don't wear the right rubber. I had all four wheels slip in an AWD in just rain! (brand new summer tires) I regained control within a couple of seconds though

You'll be fine as long as you've got proper rubber.

Every single article, review, etc that I have ever seen has always placed a RWD car with winter tires ahead of a AWD with AS tires. I've been making out just fine driving a RWD G with winter tires for over 4 years now.

Then my mom, today, is talking to sombody about a claim on their brand new 08 G (got hit in a parking lot) and they said that they had a RWD G before it and said the car just blew in bad conditions. So THEN she goes and tries to find me a AWD G with a 6mt! (i told her good luck with that LOL)
Im still gonna get a RWD and snow tires, then show them whats up.

Hahaha...just re-read the above post and realized you guys are talking about POSITIVE 40 degrees fahrenheit ... not NEGATIVE 40 degrees. Well, at least you can rest assured that the temperature can still drop another 80 or so degrees and your winter tires will still be a-ok! I can be testimony to that.

Snow tires MAKE the car. It's blizzardy in Chicago right now, and even when we had lots of accumulation eariler this winter, a full tank of gas plus Dunlop M3's... let me just say as long as you drive carefully, there should be no reason you can't get along in the winter.
