Car Info: Legacy GT

You will still skid on an AWD car. AWD isn't usually pro-active enough to stop a skid (Subaru claims the new VDC Outbacks can) before you notice it. What you will notice, though, is that its very easy to get out of the skid.

For the Legacy, I'd suggest suspension, swaybars, endlinks, brakes, etc.

Good luck man, welcome to the Legacy family.

yeah, as he said, you are still gonna slid around, but you will just have way better control to get out of it, it takes some time to get used to, so play around in parking lots and what not every time you get snow or slippery conditions. (just make sure there are no lamp standards around

)
