E35 performance in snow

Hi, all. I’ve had my e35 out in the snow now twice in this mild northeast winter, and I’m having all kinds of trouble with it. It’s honestly the worst performing car I’ve ever driven in the snow, and that includes years of driving 1980s vintage RWD cars. This thing can’t even go in a straight line if there is any kind of packed snow or slush on the ground - I will not let my wife or daughter drive it under any circumstances, and I think it’s bad enough to warrant an NTSB investigation.

I generally drive it in Sport mode - has anyone found it better in the other modes? Or any other tips (other than go buy snow tires)? I’m ready to end my lease early over this - a family of three drivers in the NE can’t put one of its cars on the shelf during the winter, and I’m not returning to the ‘70s where every car had to have a separate set of snow tires.

Thanks!
