Well I have done it for some days, well most roads are clear of snow but my street never gets cleaned or salted or whatever so it is just a horrible mess of snow and ice.

VDC on + throttle = standing still as the spinning on the ice will cause it to cut of the throttle.

VDC off + throttle = drifting out of the street the entire road I was just sliding countersteering then slide to other side and countersteering it is actually quite fun.

but the best way to drive in my street is just let the AT pull you ahead not hitting the throttle and its fine.

Thats what i do with my truck, it doesnt have VDC (thank god).


My best advice is get winter tires, turn VDC off and go to some winter auto-x. I just did it a few weeks ago with my truck, it was my first week driving my truck ever in the winter and i learned alot!. Learned how it stops, turns, accelerates all on ice and snow. That one day gave me alot of confidence in the truck.
