When you pull the parking brake switch on snow or ice, it activates the rear ABS :(

The all seasons, with help from the LSD, are actually really good in snow however :)

I was wondering what the e-brake would do at this point... So much for donuts or having fun in the snow...

"If you pull up and hold the electric parking brake switch while driving, the brakes on all four wheels are applied by the VSA system until the vehicle comes to a stop. The electric parking brake then applies, and the switch should be released." - Owner's Manual

There is still fun to be add in the snow. The setup is very aggressive for a fwd. A little Scandinavian flick will toss your rear end around.

Even just entering a snowy corner aggressively the back end rotate.

There are five levels of VSA:

VSA ON, SPORT mode OFF (most aggressive)
VSA ON, SPORT mode ON
VSA OFF, SPORT mode OFF
VSA OFF, SPORT mode ON (least aggressive)
VSA Maintenance Mode (completely off)

Now have to go look up what a Scandinavian Flick is...? Alright, done... I think I can manage that. I'll have to try!

My favorite "thing I didn't know about my Si" is how fun it is pretending to be Sherlock Holmes tracking down the source of ALL THE RATTLES IN THE DASH after only 5k miles.

Edited for Gboard typos.

Ya, the creaks and noises are starting to drive me crazy. Both my A pillars rattle and somewhere in my dash is another buzz type rattle. I think my sub rear deck is starting to rattle too. Idk how to fix all this crap lol
