If the roads are covered in snow and you are driving 45 mph dont complain about anything that your car does. just because it is AWD people think you can just fly around like its a panzer tank. newsflash........its not! it will be better than a RWD or RWD car but its not bulletproof. snow and ice cause your to slide out. if you have 2, 4, or 1000 tires on slippery snow you will not have traction. AWD is good because if 2 tires done have traction the other 2 MIGHT. jeez this makes me mad.
