That SH AWD is the shizzle. Absolutely amazing in all conditions. By far the best AWD system on the road I've ever driven. We drove down to Manhattan in late February on the night of the biggest blizzard up here ever, and we were going 50 mph on the snowpack no problem. Never had a car that would do that before. The car won't get turned sideways by traction loss in the snow and higher speeds like every other car I've owned, including some AWD cars.
Acura's system diverts power front to rear and side to side as dictated by traction loss, no other system out there does that, and it really does work, particularly in the snow, but also on wet pavement.
Love the car. I've owned it now for 3.5 years.
