Took a trip into the city yesterday for an appointment. Roads were brutal, slush on top of polished ice.
Had about 5 close calls, including a bit of 'off road' to avoid a truck that jacknifed in front of us.
We made it through though, no damage.

I did use it on the way home, but by then things had warmed up more and the conditions weren't as bad so it wasn't a fair comparison.
My biggest issue with this vehicle in the winter is how touchy the brakes are. They seem to lock up way too easy on the front when you're in low grip conditions. I wonder if slippery mode compensates for this?

I don't drive it much as it is my wife's DD but the odd time I do the first few stops are usually over agressive. I'm sure if I drove it on a regular basis I'd naturally adjust to it.

Balanced AWD would have been nice early in the day. The back end was wanting to step out on the clover-leaves (clover-leafs?). Normally fun... not as much with heavier traffic and our daughter in the car.
I want to say that when it was in slippery mode on the way home the throttle response seemed sluggish as well. I wasn't paying that much attention to it though, as I was pretty forcused on watching oncoming traffic for signs they were coming into my lane
