How does the x handle in heavy snow?
Hahaha nice!
Just speaking as someone with ACD the IX was amazing in the snow. Snow mode does wonders for stability in heavy snow. I am sure the X will be just as good or better considering it is a little heavier and different drivetrain.

I'm moving to the Fort Atkinson area. Ground clearance is my main concern at this point. I think I have seen the max capabilities of my lowered and supercharged mustang gt with snow tires today. I actually had to dig my car out at work. Once I hit the main roads clearance and grip weren't an issue. But digging my car out of it's parking space was an interesting experience. Is this about as bad as it gets around here?
Yesterday I had my first chance with my Dunlop M3's to drive in a good amount of snow, 6" or so, and it performs awesome. I never had a chance to drive my 8 in snow, but i heard good things, but the X handles beautifully. I was getting the snow symbol to pop up in the center a bunch, mainly because I was trying for snow drifting, but overall it is great for snow driving. I was passing everyone, and going up hills, braking, and going around bends with ease. Everyone else was going very slow and I was cruising along at normal pace. It was very fun to say the least, Minnesota winter's are full of win if you like snow.

Evos do great in the snow with proper shoes (read: SNOW TIRES).
I have 3 degrees of camber up front and 2 degrees in the winter and I'm low as hell to the ground, yet I still embarass the most well equipped of SUVs...Blizzak LM25 for the win!

yup the evo x (any evo for that matter) with winter tires is really going to be an awesome experience. and to echo Mitch, Blizzak LM25 FTW!!!! I had fun today passing people and messing around in some parking lots before picking up my g/f

I have all-season Yoko Advan S4's on my X and it handles snow and sluch great. No problem with driving around in snow up to 3" For the record, my IX had the same tires on, and it also handled great in the snow and ice.
