Apparently more power + more grip makes for some fantastic, easily controlled sliding. My neighbor let me try  his tuned WRX, and I let him play around with the Miata. I think we both walked away loving each other’s cars...

HHere’s video of my neighbor drifting the Subaru.. Wish I got video of me in it, I was getting a lot more sideways than him. Always thought AWD would be boring but honestly.... It was a blast. Basically approached it like my Miata, breaking traction, getting sideways, and adjusting via throttle and steering input. More drive wheels, more power, but the basics were the same. Didn’t need to radically change how I drove. Anyways, check out that CAMERA WORK

And here’s my neighbor trying out the Miata! First time in a RWD car. I told him to go full lock and mash the gas just to get an idea of how easy it is to get the tail loose. He picked it up quick.

And lastly, top-down shenanigans because I couldn’t resist. We’re at about 7" of snow today and I can’t wait to go out later and get back to the hooning!

Niiice!

I tried doing some donuts in 4WD mode, but I couldn’t break traction. I didn’t really have room to get up to speed; the open areas were maybe half the size of what you two played around in.  I really need to find a good lot for this.

If you haven't already, try clutch kicks. For those of us without gobs of power, it helps a ton!

Snowbaru ! I remember when I did something like this 8 years back or so in my Impreza hatch d uring one of those rare snowstorms in the South where we got 4 inches of snow.

Thank you! I love the sound, especially from outside. Drones a bit on the highways though.

As someone who drifts / does donuts in his awd car at every possibly opportunity, I can testify that it does work well. Especially a symmetric or rear-biased setup (e.g. Subaru or in my case BMW) but it works with a FWD based setup, too, as in my Volvo. Just pitch it in and mash the throttle, then adjust.
