Now I'm just waiting for another dump of snow. You'll be happy.

I have an '04 FX35, (systems are identical) and it is excellent in the snow, even with the awful stock Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. The car always feels surefooted. And trust me, Quattro is overrated (this coming from a huge Audi fan). Audi is only famous for rally's because they were the first to impliment AWD (Quattro). There's nothing wrong with it, but the ATTESA E-TS is just as good.
