[s-cars] Quattro.... there is no substitute - just add JNR

In my experience, it's certainly not as bad as you describe the Volvo.

  That's why I asked- maybe Audi's ESP isn't as intrusive- the Volvo DSTC is
so intrusive
  that you simply can't turn unless you're going really, really slow in
slushy snow, where
  all 4 wheels have traction.

  In non-ESP Audi quattros, the car might have gotten a little loose in a
20mph turn in
  deep slush, but I could easily, safely, make the turn. I can't do that at
all in the Volvo-
  I have to slow to about 10mph otherwise the DSTC makes the car impossible
to turn.
