F is much harder to drive in snow then IS250...

torque even in snow mode kick wheels a lot ant TRC is just working non stop, but when trc is working it means you already lost traction...

as is250 is much less on torque it losses grip much later and you can drive it much easier in snow..

its funny I washed it two days ago and it looks a bit plain now haha. Its fine and fun in the snow. No problems yet. Although I do worry sometimes about that cold AL block warming up in the sub zero weather. I just scanned the exhaust openings with the 3D scanner for my carbon diffuser peices. The road dirt helped register the scans quite a bit since it has to be opaque or the laser reflects off.

I drive mine year round, just when the roads are clear Mike. I've driven the F in the snow once. Never again lol.
