Stay in manual mode, lets you start off in 2nd gear, need a light foot, once a wheel breaks free, you are not going anywhere. Less chance of breaking free in 2nd, than 1st.
Rely heavily on engine braking by down shifting, what is really terrible is this ABS module required by law, every vehicle I looked at, all the same, that ABS pump motor is garbage, see better motors on a model slot car. Only pulses about once every second. Never on equal traction, sounds like the front end is falling apart. Traction control is just the opposite pulses that spinning wheel with your brakes, one pulse per second, will never replace a limited slip differential
Where ABS releases the brake on a stalled wheel, some Standford professor playing statistical games on his laptop claims ABS is 14% safer than not having it, so congress made this law.
ABS module in there is throwaway, depending where you buy a replacement, least 500 bucks for this piece of trash, so do not rely on it at all.
Another important characteristic, is having a 50-50 weight distribution between the front and rear wheels, Elantra is not bad in this respect, worse vehicle of this is a pickup truck, guys that have to have these are running empty, huge weight on the front wheels have a lot better traction than the rears, so the rear breaks free.
Guys using snow plows load the bed with gravel or rock, but idiots that buy these things run empty. Do have one advantage, more ground clearance, practically all compacts, only about 5", if getting like 8" of fresh snow on the ground, not going anywhere until the plow goes by.
