Default Until you lose it in snow/ice

I lost it once in snow with quattro. I was meaning to make it slide a little, but it started going sideways and was not predictable at all. Wasn't easy to correct, but maybe I need more practice I can correct easily enough with RWD, though.

Default when you loose it with awd you really loose it

because that means you've basically pushed your car to 100% of it's availible traction. Not easy to correct if there's no traction to correct with.
