Hiya Joe,

We had snow here the begining of Feb only around 2" of settled snow, I took the SVX out for a blast around the lanes, roundabouts and duel carrageways near me.

Its 1 of the best handling cars I have driven in the snow, much better than my type R impreza with the trick diff and 70% rear wheel drive.

Poweslides & drifting at upto to 80 were lovely and controlled and when the the rear felt like it was going a little too far the front wheels kicked in to drag it all back into line and throttle steering was fantastic.

I have a feeling that the 4ws does not activate when the diff transfeers power to the front wheels, it felt very neutral & stable and tracked like a conventional rwd car.
