I just went down to Houston to pick up an 09 SXT AWD from my friend's dealership for my wife's birthday, and it still has the wet weather tires on it which worried me about the winter coming up. We just got our first big snow here in Salt Lake City, UT and I was truly impressed with how well it did on the highway and in the mountains with a couple inches on the road. I intentionally went out before the plows cleared and salted the roads so I could get a good feel for it in the snow since all my snow experience is with full size 4x4's, and even with the completely wrong type of tires it hugged the road with no problems and did not get away from me at all.
