I agree, the traction control helps if you are driving at an appropriate speed for the conditions and just happen to get a little squirrely. More so than only being RWD, low ground clearance on sedans and coupes is a bigger detriment for driving in snow conditions. The X1 would afford that greater ground clearance but still provide a smaller vehicle than the other X models. That's why I've been looking forward to the arrival of the X1 stateside.
