Nice area. How does the AWD go in the snow?

Fantastic photo. Boost the vibrance a bit etc. and it would make a great desktop

That looks like a really fun road. How do the tires and iAWD handle the snow?

Beautiful pics. Reminds me of the good times with my old Impreza I had when I lived in the California mountains that got snow like this every winter.

If only Suzuki offered AWD with the manual trans...

This car is spectacular fun in the snow!
Here's a video I took a few days ago playing up in the mountains.

Best private kizashi on snow video I have seen so far... Someone knows how to use the traction control button.

Hey Moto, thanks. Yes it is really quite a fun car once esp has been shut off. The Dunlop Winter's help a great deal as well. There will be far more entertaining little videos to come.

Yes, nice work! Just be careful you don't get too carried away and slide into something. I had an AWD turbo vehicle about 20 years ago and did much the same on onion weed - it's very slippery too..... Even with the AWD system (an archaic viscous coupled system) I kept getting it spinning backwards on me.

I've password protected it (pass: kizashisnow) cuz it's hella dorky and I don't want anyone except other Kizashi nerds on this forum watching it and blowing up my Vimeo feed with snarky commentary

The video should be live soon.

Kizashi did great in the 2-3 inches that were on the roads I found in the Willamette National Forest. I REALLY felt like ESP was reining in my snow fun factor though. How do you shut that off ?

More snow this weekend, so I think I'll give it a run up on Mt Hood this time !
