Got to test out the All4

Unfortunately the weather has gone from OK to yuck, but I got to test out the ALL4. Pretty impressive, however I can see how this could be a confidence builder and then you get yourself in trouble.

Today's weather in Mass is that crappy slushy icy heavy kinda of off white tranlucent kind of frozen drops from the sky. Not the kind that is bright white and makes every thing look like a fairyland, one that looks like what a scene out of a movie after they the drop the BOMB. bleeehhhh

I did notice when you are at a stop or making a turn after coming to a stop it kinda of spins abit but then kicks in, at least that is my experience so far.

I know how you feel! I live in Utah, and took my '07 MCS into the dealership for some pretty big repairs and requested a Countryman for the loaner car. They gave me a 2013 and I fell in LOVE.

I did notice the same thing you mentioned, though. It was raining pretty heavily the day I left the dealership and I took a corner slightly fast (after all, I am used to an MCS :P) and it kind of spun out a bit, then righted itself and I zoomed off. It almost felt like a hop, but not quite? It was peculiar.
