First Snow with the X

First Snow with the X
Wow.
Never owned an AWD vehicle before, only FWD's.
Let me tell you how happy I am that I got the X. There is a good 4 inches of wet heavy snow on the ground and I love the traction this thing has. i even went to an un-plowed parking lot to play for a bit and see how it handles, no way in hell did the car slip up or feel like I was going to get stuck.
That is all

On a related note i get caught out there yesterday with summer only tires in my Sport. I had no idea that snow storm was comming. Let's say I felt like I was on skis. had to drive 20 mph on the Garden Sate Parkway to get home from my oil change appointment. I typically change to winter tires in mid november. Lesson learned. Pay attention to weatehr forcast the day before.

The half a dozen times that my AWD has saved me around here no FWD or RWD cars were even moving. We're talking trucks, SUVs and real AWD cars being the only ones on the streets. This was in my then daily driven Subaru. And no, Toyota/Honda/Ford etc... FWD based AWD systems are not the same as ours, or Audi's Quattro, or any other misc systems using viscous coupling. So, snow tires or not, no RWD would even begin to try to move in such conditions.
Other than that, I would so love to have a RWD as a daily. I really would.

willdogs - do you have snows on too?
I'm going to miss my X this winter. I drove it, 3 winters with Blizzaks, and it would go through anything offered up by mother nature the past few years.
I've got a brand new set of winter wheels/tires for my new rwd sport but I know it won't be the same as my old X...not even close.
Enjoy!

This question "what exactly does it do" has been asked and answered many times. Do a quick search for snow mode.
