It indeed is. We got our first mini-snowstorm in the Toronto, Canada area, and I got my first experience with my 3IS in the snow and first experience w an AWD car.
Got to use the heated windscreen wiper feature too, and the headlight cleaners spray automatically once for every 5 times you operate the windscreen washer fluid nozzles.
One thing I noticed is that if I hammer the throttle in snow and then make a turn, the rear end likes to kick out even though I have AWD. It never did this with my past FWD cars. Is this because the Lexus IS is RWD biased??
