SH-AWD and winter
Thanks all for the welcomes and the feedback. To clarify, i have always had snows on the TL-S, and it was still not great. Low ground clearance doesnt help either. So i guess the question is how much extra footing dies AWD give?
Test drive is tomorrow AM, and i will have a chat with my rep as well.
I live 200 km North of Québec city where winter starts say Nov-Dec and ends in April...with a buttload of snow. My driveway to get to my garage has a 20 deg + slope (I know call me crazy) and I am located in a cul-de-sac. With my TSX, which is FWD, I have to drive by my house, open up the garage door and take a run around the cul-de-sac to make it up the driveway into the garage (with the VSA system helping me out). Sometimes I have to take a couple of run.
Last year got myself an MDX (I should really say my wife got an MDX...but I kind of push her that way somewhat). Now with the MDX, I stop at the bottom of the driveway, open up the garage door, and very gently push on the accelerator and up we go (this just drive my wife crazy when she is in the passenger seat with me >

).
You just won't believe how efficient the SH-AWD is in the winter.
