Wet(frozen/slushy) and 26*F out today. I think this thing would stomp any kind of sports car out there that is RWD from a light until it hooked up. It was a lot easier to get out of my apartment complex in it than my 370Z. Not a knock on the Z, that, any 2WD vehicle spins leaving my complex in any sort of hurry. It's the crappy design of the "main" road being at the top of a steeper juncture with the one through my complex. You accelerate onto it, and the weight shifts off of the rear-tires, just like it shifts off of the front, when you "break" the crest onto the road. hard to explain, but just suffice it to say in any vehicle with TC, you feel like a sitting duck if you're trying to get out during rush hour when it kicks in for 2-3 seconds and people loom in the mirror.
I will own other vehicles, I'm sure, but little stuff like this is making AWD super appealing. I truly did not know what I was missing.
