1) Get decent snow tires. I have General Altimax Arctic tires and they do the job and were not very expensive.

2) Hold the Traction Control button for 5 seconds to disable the stability and TC.

3) Hoon the hell out of the car and have fun in a parking lot.

For real. I had a 2wd half-ton pick up that was worst then my FRS in the snow. AWD is not a savior. It accelerates quicker, but it doesn`t corner very much better if you don`t know how to, and it doesn`t brake better. So you end up deeper in the ditch or with a bigger repair bill and towing bill. Just stay your butt at home when their is 3 feet of snow. I never had to get out and shovel my car because I got stuck yet, and I plowed the roads a few times because they clean the roads late in my sub-division.

Enjoy the car and have fun with it.
