Audi ABS FTL. Both the Suburban and the Nissan stop quicker than the A4 in today's snow storm.

2k miles. Fine in rain and dry, grippy in the corners. This is 4 inches of snow.
ABS always sucks in slush and heavy snow. It's a VAG thing. I was surprised the Suburban didn't have the same issue. Granted, it's heavier, but still has ABS. The Nissan has no ABS, but I expected it to slide more with older, wider tires.
In order, best to worst:
Suburban
Nissan
A4
Ironic, as the Suburban has horribly small brakes for its size, and is very difficult to stop quickly in normal driving.

Ah, yes. When I was younger, my dad just turned off the ABS in the 100CS Avant and said "now stop."
As a 16 year old, I was just fine on baldass Contis in 2-3inches here - apparently, though, too much of a challenge for the Camry driving moco population.

that's an easy comprimise, I hate ABS it was designed for people who don't
know how to drive which is problem in this country because our driver education training is awful (I do not mean ACNA, PCA etc club events, I mean the big yellow 'student driver' signs on driving schools.)
