Yessir, the K is much fun to hammer on it in the snow. Amazing how well all the tech works together to keep you going where you point it. Just be aware, that at some extreme point, the electronics had failed to overcome my ridiculous antics while testing what it's capabilities are and aren't.

TSC, AWD and Auto shifting were all enabled. My only input was throttle, steering, stupidity and zero braking. The point at which it 'broke', for lack of a better term, was quite abrupt and while not unexpected, how really out of control the car ended up becoming was (speed: stupid fast, roadway: 2-lane country road, sweeping RH bend). It was holding really well and just gave up. Up to that point, extremely impressive. I ended up well off 'the road' and into a large smooth grassy field/yard during my trials out here in Amish land. Mission accomplished, I know where it's limits are

which are far beyond any way I'd normally be driving in foul weather. This was back first winter after I'd purchased it riding on the OE Dunlops. Now I garage it as much as possible in the winter so as to reduce the exposure to others harming my most favorite, irreplaceable car. The Heep can get wrecked, I don't care they're a dime a dozen, and it's better at slogging through drifts.
If you're driving at a reasonable speed, in the snow and something unexpected happens, the car is quite capable of handling itself and you. Seeing you're from Wisonsin, I imagine you are def. no foreigner to winter escapades. WESHOOT likes to blast around old school w/ the TSC disabled, his year-round daily travels are epic Kizashi fan fare.
