not really

alot of this depends on the terrain you live around, im sure you "can" drive your 240 in the snow...congradulations... but why would you want to anyway??..but thats off topic

awd/4wd is proven to be more efficient in snow / harsh weather conditions... not much debate there

cooly story bro :rolleyes:

tire marks in the snow, proving i was driving?? snow build up behind the wheels to prove it??
love riding in my friend's wrx's but but they all still understeer in snow, i just hate the feeling of understeer.
over steer feels much more natural.

has not been proven otherwise.
fresh snow above the bumper line means your car aint going anywhere until you bust out a shovel and get to the plowed road.
unplowed conditions, rwd sucks balls comparitively. and the lower the not-so-better.
my old hatch could barely navigate a speedbump...trust me it didnt move in untouched snow.

awd with proper tires and oem ride height own in crap weather. subaru made me a believer during the last heavy snow in va...all im sayin bro

I can drive my S14 in the snow, but don't enjoy it. Those nice flat roads you took your pictures on? Look easy. Come around my neck of the woods and drive in a few inches of snow. No plows, no shoulders, and hills higher than your house. See if its still fun then.....

That's like...what? An inch of snow...inch and a half at most?

You should try driving your car with 5+ inches of snow on the road with ice underneath it all.....and simultaneously try to avoid all of the potholes hiding under all that crap.

Anyways, I don't drive my 240 during the winter...I know trying to drive that up the hill I live on is damn near impossible with that car.
