Up there, a foot in a day is not uncommon.

My last rear drive car, an '87 Peugeot 505 turbo 5-speed, was diabolical here in Detroit (on fresh all-season radials).

So, much as I dream of an XF on those rolling mountain roads, does sanity mean I should be looking at a front drive or awd car?

NOTE: When responding, please note:
A) Where you live (Texans will be ignored!)
B) Your tire type (all-season, summer sport, snow)

Thanks in advance!

I live upstate NY (around Albany) And I have no problem...then again i put the car on "ice" for 5 months and drive something else. But you'll love the roads in the spring, summer, fall foliage. nice twisty secondary roads and a few interstates to let her rip.
