Color me impressed. I just backed into my driveway. My unshoveled sloped driveway. Zero hesitation. My snow blower may not get used much this winter. [emoji41]
Tires?

Blizzacks DM V2Tires?
I haven't noticed any. Haven't really gotten on it yet, though. Braking on pavement feels tighter. Suspect a combo of winter tires and brand new tires.^Those are damn near unstoppable..did they ruin the handling?

Or maybe the Toyos ain't all that bad?
For us Northern Hemispherians.
A lot of pairs in different threads about AWD. How about a dedicated thread?
Do you love it? Do you not?
Sitting at the coffee shop right now. We got hammered yesterday and overnight by Winter Storm Chloe.
I can't believe we name Winter storms now.
Anyway... Got up a little early today. Woke the kid up. Made him breakfast. Went out and dusted off 6 inches of snow on my car.
We left 15 minutes early to get to school.
Ha. Took me like 3 minutes longer. After I drop him off I start hitting a few side streets on my way to the coffee shop...because I have time to kill now since I got up early. LOL
I'm aiming for stretches of road that are untouched. The CX-5 just plows right through like a happy dog. "What next buddy?" Wag. Wag.
The AWD on this thing is no joke. I feel like I'm driving a tall snowmobile....
No need for AWD in Texas, I might still be tempted to get a 2.0L AWD CX5 in low or mid trim as my 2nd car replacing the Jhamry. I am willing to take a hit on FE for depreciated AWD CX5
TX has some STOOPID slick roads, though. I remember my first time in San Antonio driving my '01 WS6. In 3rd gear in a slow corner (30mph) just rolling onto the throttle would get it sideways (on new F1GSD3's). It was crazy!
So it's been lightly snowing for hours. Off work this week with my kid. Let's hope to breakfast dude! Jump in the car, fly out of the driveway, turn into the main road....it's totally cleared of snow.
