In what has become a rather harsh winter in the Northeast, I am quite happy with the PAWS model's traction in snow. Very impressive for a front wheel drive car with stock tires. In 6+ inches of snow today, with little plowing done, the car was pretty much glued to the road. Made a wrong turn and had to do a k-turn on an unpaved road - no problem!! In fact, the RLX is superior to some all wheel drive cars we have had in the past as far as handling in the snow.

Just another positive attribute of the RLX.

 

I concur, and can say the same about my current TLX P-AWS.

A very well balanced car is a very well balanced grippy car, regardless of the wheels driven.

The P-AWS gives extra claw grip from the rear.

 

I'm a little nervous about how this is phrased. Could somebody explain to me what it means?

 

Nice report. Weight over the front (drive) wheels is a good thing during the winter.
