- '16 Touring AWD
Just wanted to say that my 2015 Touring AWD system really can conquer some of the worst snowstorms of the season in Duluth, MN, and all the way up to Houghton, MI. Multiple trips, no slippage, which of course was aided by winter tires, but the amount of times I was able to pull off from a stoplight while Subarus (VERY common around here) were slipping and struggling during our 12+" snowfall events was quite something. I have a feeling Mazda's system gives an advantage over older Subarus because the system can detect the approach angle, which in Duluth can have a grade as high as 25.5%. If you're having any doubts coming from Subaru, no need to worry!
