Yeah I have not had a major issue in the snow, I actually tried to slip on some snow in a parking lot and couldn't the car kept correcting itself no fun in the Lexus. I have tried the snow mode but I think it doesn't help as all it does is slow the start off power when you accelerate. Although we had a little snow I had no problem in the snow

With winter tires on, it does take more effort to "slide" & go sideways, but it is a lot more predictable & controllable versus all-season tires.

Not sure if this applies to US models, if you hold the TRAC button for 3-5 seconds, you should be able to completely disengage your traction & stability controls. It stays off until you press the TRAC button again or shut off your car. At this point you can start to have fun, responsibly in an empty lot of course.
