TARMAC - The rear end would kick out a lot and easily due to the torque vectoring (oversteer)
GRAVEL - The car seemed pretty neutral... although sometimes the rear end would still step out... but not as much as Tarmac mode
SNOW - The car would understeer

What surprised me tho was that there was torque vectoring in all three modes. Initially I thought torque vectoring only happened in Tarmac... because that's where you felt it. But on the S-AWC info screen ( | )... in Gravel and Snow I could still seem some torque vectoring. But it wasn't much.... maybe a 1-bar twist in each direction.

Oh yeah... and SNOW mode is super restrictive when the traction control is on... but with it off it's not as bad. But be aware that with ASC/TRAC off... the car does understeer a lot.
