It's winter dude, it's freezing out there ! What do you expect ?

And you can get the DSC working (and wheels spinning when up-shifting) also during summer with summer tires, if you have +320 horsepower. No problem at all...

Did you go on an (empty) parking lot, and play in the snow with the RWD ?
Now that will get you a smile, that you'll never get with AWD.

You can pay for the AWD, or you can pay the same amount to get a Quaife LSD installed on your RWD... that will get you, when loosing grip, from 1-wheel drive to 2-wheel drive, and to a proper sliding/drifting car.

Also, AWD means automatic transmission by default. Did you test a manual or auto ?
