Now I'm just waiting for another dump of snow. You'll be happy.
caveman666, just wait till you test those new snows with the X. You will be totally amazed at the inprovement. I have driven the stock all seasons in heavy snow and they suck. Once you try those new snows you will see there is no comparison. You will hoping for the snow so you can go out and play .

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.

For those that don't believe Quattro is overrated check this out....

note: google vids are a little slow sometimes,... click refresh a couple of times & you get a faster feed.
