When driving
on slipperier surfaces like snowed - over
roads or
dirt trails, the Subaru Legacy does handle the tougher terrain with relative ease, and (in conjunction with the traction and stability control) should mean you'll overcome all but the most adverse conditions that Mother Nature can throw at you.
The stable design and wide tires did well
on ice
roads and the snirt (for you sun - belters, that's a
slippery mixture of snow and
dirt), and the pedal - assist certainly came in handy when plowing through small drifts of snow.
