How does the Roadster handle in snow?
A = ride from Hell.
B = use common sense and be smooth on gas/brake.
C = not bad like most cars.
D = like a four wheel drive.
I don't seriously expect many D's.
Thank you.
In Seattle, we have only a few days of snow and most is gone in a day or so. This winter we've had several more snow days. My car is definitely an A in the snow as we have hills and crazy, non-snow drivers on the roads and I don't have snow tires...consequently, I don't drive my car when it's extremely cold (icy) or snowy. I would definitely get snow tires if this is your only ride. I have another option..a Jeep Cherokee, and that car is fantastic.
PS: You'll love your roadster!
