In corners, it's typically BMW, i.e. with a hint of RWD "taildance", but very easy to control. Significantly more fun to drive in snow than e.g. an A4 Allroad or any other Audi. Also, more predictable than Haldex cars like Volvos or smaller Audis.

I tried it a bit "off road" in some 6-8 inches as well, and that was loads of fun!

More fun than Audi because of the "taildance?"
