The Pontiac Vibe doesn't seem to do as well, but it does fine. It's just a fail at certain points when it is spinning the wheel in the air instead of on the ground.
The vibe is no Subaru for sure. Having owned two Subaru (beat the piss out of them), and several other manufactures with AWD / 4WD, I can feel confident nothing compares with the Subaru system for all around bad weather and some off-road use. With all this stated: For general around town and traction assists when needing acceleration the Vibe will do fine.
