yeah, I think you'll find it's great with snows (and a lot of fun) until about 4-5" when it has to plow a little. That's when it can get a bit iffy. Definately like taking the DSC off, or at least in m-drive stability settings.

I grew up driving rear wheel drive cars in the snow, without DSC. Sometimes I feel like I'm forgetting how to handle a car and drive properly when the DSC is on. Spoils it for me.

DSC off is easier since you have fulll control. I would definately have it on a speeds about 45 or 50mph as a safety net, but driving around in suburbs or urban areas is better to have full control and use of power to control the rear end and have reasonable acceleration, which is killed by DSC
