LOL. I actually tried that once in a fwd RSX. Did not work.
But yeah, hills are one area where AWD can make a huge difference. There's a hill near my parents' neighborhood that's fairly steep and very slippery when covered with snow. Their AWD SUV (w/ locking center differential, limited slip rear differential) can make that hill on all-seasons, whereas FWD cars even on snow tires don't have a chance.
