svx and snow
I hope everybody here had a safe and happy xmas. Yesterday I took my pearl out in the snow for the first time and OMG . It was so much fun it drove better than my dodge diesel 4x4 I had. It blew me away. Sadly someone saw me in it and offered me 3 times what I payed for and I couldn't refuse . So after the new year ill be looking for a 4 door diesel truck so I can pull a trailer to get me another svx .

Re: svx and snow
If you spend a little extra you can get one that moves under it's own power. Then you won't need to buy that diesel truck?

Re: svx and snow
I had my SVX out in the snow for the first time 2 days ago. Even on the summer-ish "high performance all-season" tires it was impressively grippy. Mind you, this is coming from a person who has had two previous Subies shod with full-on winter tires, including an STi; let's just say it takes a pretty good amount of grip to impress me!
Sadly, nobody offered me 3x what I paid for it. It's snowing again today, perhaps I'll go for another spin...

Re: svx and snow
I'm having a blast these days with daily snow and temps moving around 0 celcuis. I'm shod with used studless Hankooks which is fairly fun when wanting to have fun but, not so fun when just driving on the road wanting to be safe and sound at higher than average speed.
The car is very heavy but quite controllable in low speed drifts.
