Just got home from driving 30 miles home in the snow. I say we got a good 3 inches but when I was driving home it was no sweat. What so ever.
The VSA is a life saver. No slipping no sliding no skiding anywhere at all. When I applied the gas too much it would simply lower the torque and adjust my speed/wheel spin so I wouldn't loose control. when I was driving home on the toll road (9 miles) I saw all these RWD car drivingn slow, 5 seriers, 3 series, but a bunch of fwd TL's 4wheel drive cars speeding. like me. was going 65 on a 55mph on snow. No problem what so ever . I gave the VSA a workout today and it also saved me from numerious times. When I was switching lanes it would go off for a split second and go off. Also when I was making turns in my neighborhood I was getting perfect turns.

The more I drive this car the more I love about it. The VSA is very well engineered , and gave me the confidence that my car wouldn't put me down or put me in any danger.
Don't think I can get another car w/out VSA or navi after driving this car.

I let my dad take my CL for two estimates one from the Acura dealership and the other at an independent place. Actually the Acura body shop was cheaper. See my sig for an explenation. Anyway, I had my father's Thunderbird LX. The last two times it snowed I had the Tunderbird. Its not the greatest in snow. He has four sandbags in the trunk and snow tires. I hate winter.
