I put it in snow mode and just pulled out like the snow wasn't there My tires are probably 1/3 worn and I could still comfortably do 55 on the highway. I don't know why people are complaining about the X being bad in the snow .... i love it! Wannabe6MT, you guys in MN are practically born into snow. When you guys look out your window in the morning and DON'T see snow you're surprised. I was out in Minneapolis last May and have to wear a jacket to go out at night. Looking forward to seeing your mods this spring!
lol yes we do get a lot of snow, and im not a pansy! I drive my RWD G through it all

My dad likes his AWD G tho.

It is cold here though. Bitterly cold.

+1! Even colder and windier in Fargo, ND where I hail from! If the wind chill isn't lower than -50, no need to even have a wind chill warning!

I'm sick of winter too. I want nice weather so I can actually CLEAN my car and keep it that way. Black is such a nice classy color when clean.

My G35x is much better in the snow then any car I have ever owned. It's even better then my old SVX. It's either you need to practice driving in icy conditions, or your tires are totally bald. My 35x has "ok" tires, all seasons, nothing special and I have had no problems.

Find yourself an empty lot and learn to control your car, you will be surprised how well the G35x handles in the snow. G35x>WRX.
