Looking seriously to purchase a Stinger GT Limited AWD and would like owner feedback regarding the traction and handling in snow conditions as I live in the Calgary Alberta region.
Thanks.

Brockville, Ontario here.

Michelin X-Ice winter tires on 18 inch winter alloy wheels. No problem whatsoever driving in winter. never got stuck once.

Had to actually go around RWD pickup trucks stuck diagonally and blocking both lanes in the street up a slight incline more than once by driving over and through the snow bank at the side of the street. Managed that no problem. One truck driver actually flipped me the bird as I went by, ha, ha!!

would have liked the option for an LSD. my STI had LSD front and rear and was unstoppable in bad conditions. not so confident about the open front and rear diffs of the awd stinger.
