As you all probably know, a massive nor’easter snow and blizzard storm is coming by late tonight slamming us with up to 2 feet of snow in some areas. Is your RDX ready? R U Feeling confident to trek out or will you just say f*** it,.. I’m staying in.

Turn off traction control and find an empty parking lot for some autocross fun!

Thanks for the advice. Been there, done that.. many times. I was more implying to try to get from point A to point B in some supposed really bad conditions very soon.

My wife has been driving the RDX the.past couple of years and it's been solid in the snow. SH-AWD would be better, but this AWD doesn't disappoint.

Agreed. I drove my 2016 RDX AWD through that last fairly decent snow in the N.E. and it did fine. Felt the rear wheels gripping pretty good and easily went up some hills that a FWD would have got stuck. With that said, a severe storm with 12 inches or more of snow... No. Leave this for a raised Jeep with true 4x4 and snow tires or something. The RDX is an awesome car and will handle some snow OK but the serious stuff, don't think so.

Note to Acura: If you're reading this, bring back SH-AWD to the RDX for crying out loud.
