Well, so far this month, we've had 23" of snow (7" on Saturday). Six speed with Goodyear F1AS tires are amazing in snow. I've got no weight in the trunk (other than the gas in the tank) and this car drives as good in snow as any car I've had. Obviously it's not all wheel drive, but after all the horror stories I'd heard about this car in snow, I was expecting disaster. I will not think twice about going anywhere in this car this winter. I hate having to drive it year round, but the Prowler is not a winter car by a long shot, so this will have to do for now. I love this car and am thrilled the wife agreed that we should trade in the '07 Caliber to get it.
