Thumbs up first experience with RX330 in the snow

It's coming down pretty hard here in the Boston area, about 4-6" so far on the ground. I live about 20 minutes from Boston and decided to give it a shot and go into town this morning.
Let me tell you, the car drove like a tank. Not once did I feel lack of control or skidding. While other cars on the road were spinning wheels or fishtailing RX was going through any snow banks or sleet without any issues.
I am a very happy RX330 owner right now.

Did anyone else play in the snow today?

Gene

Boston definiately is getting hit hard by this one...

Hi Gene,

Right, I'm about 20 miles NW of Boston and took the RX 300 out yesterday. I agree, these vehicles are excellent performers in the snow!

Matter of fact, I just love to go out in the snow to enjoy the handling. Great fun. And yes, it is still snowing, maybe 36 hours now. My plow guy came by during the night and I'm sure he'll be by again.

Ed.

Thumbs up

Today, my wife and I drove our RX 330 over 300 miles from Potsdam, NY to seacoast, NH --- or from northwest to southeast across a large chunk of area affected by the December 6-7 Nor'easter. Most roads were snowcovered and in places downright treacherous. We were ecstatic about the way the 330 performed. No hint of slipping, sliding, fishtailing, etc, even in tricky passing lanes. Traction is absolutely amazing when starting from dead stops in snow, slush, ice or whatever.

This is our first awd vehicle. I can't imagine we could have picked a better one.
