Wow. My first real drive in the snow on real winter tires in this car. Amazing. I was able to get up and down steep hills easily. I was able to stop and go easily. I was able to maneuver easily. This car is an awesome car in the winter when properly equipped!

(As with any snow driving, basic snow skills are essential, though - planning ahead and leaving plenty of cushion are still required)

Default I had the same experience in my rental Grand Am, it's surprisingly good in the snow. The Audi would
have been nice though.

Default After a while you get use to the idea that it is no longer about 'not getting stuck'...
That's when the fun begins. Then you start going faster. )))

Default I don't have dedicated snow tires, I just have all season tires on. The commute in was a lot of fun
I took some of the back roads on purpose.
