Having driven an AWD vehicle in the snow (Audi 5000Q), I can say this article is baloney. I had snows on both my FWD Jetta and AWD Audi, and the Audi cornered better, moved off from a stop better, and seemed to steer better too. Of course I also know how to drive in the snow, so I didn't push it. But it was amazing how I simply couldn't get the car stuck.



That was in Michigan. Here in Virginia there is definitely less need for AWD.
