Living in a state that gets snow in the winter I activate the ABS in the car more than that in a week Same with the traction control.
It's a fair point. My state gets snow in the winter, but far away from me.
If I regularly drove on snow/ice, I'd want good traction control and more, not just ABS. My BMW X3 was just magical on bad surfaces; snow, sand, gravel, whatever; it just kept going.
