And last week I spent about an hour helping him shovel that damn thing out of his driveway when it was stuck in less than 3 inches of snow. AWD is useless when the wheels are spinning and the car is going NOWHERE! Funny, my FWD Saab with Gislaved snows was able to get in and out of the same driveway with no problems, and I got over the plowed in snow at the foot of the driveway...he couldn't even move to get there.
Get some snows and your complaining will stop.
And FYI, Winter mode is only good from a dead stop and at low speeds...and only with tires that actually have some traction, i.e. snow tires.
