Replying to: sls002 (Mar 29, 2006 8:09 am) Your comments bring up a point I missed. Never having driven a car with Traction Control or the big brother Skid Control, you are right. These electronic devices will make driving any car on snow different. Much more safe, I would assume. Also, if you read enough comments on Edmunds.com about Traction Control and snow, it seems some complain that it makes driving up a snow covered hill (from a standing start) or getting "unstuck" more difficult as the wheels will not spin. My assumption is that they have FWD cars. Is this true, or... people just complaining? This is all new to me..... Replies to this message: sls002 (Mar 30, 2006 7:33 am)
