Regarding the clean CTS my secret is that I used the Neon for my commute. We had a lot of snow on the roads that made you feel like driving on sand. The Neon is FWD, smaller and lighter and it was easier to drive under these conditions. Meanwhile the main roads are clean or are covered with "hard" snow and today I drove with the CTS. Nonetheless I´ve never seen so often flashing "ASR"(AYC) on my Cadillac`s display before
