Solid performance... Snow tires doing their thing! I love how that minivan was spinning right at the end of the video. :P

Nice. What people fail to realize is except for the obvoius lack of ground clearance, its just like driving any rwd truck/suv/car ... sport car in the snow? ??!!! Blasphemy! !!

Thanks for posting the vid...this really helps clear any doubts i have of getting the car next week.

Cool to hear Vai!

This is my first set of snow tires ever, and they are awesome.

I think I spied some deep unplowed snow, I'll give it a go if I have time.

I should probably buy a gopro though.

Never had a single problem in the Minnesota snow with this car. The near 50/50 weight distribution makes this a VERY easy car to drive in the snow. This is 4" of fresh unplowed snow, and I've got literally the cheapest wheel/tire combo I could find for this car. 19" DRAG wheels (from Discount Tire/America's Tire) and 235/55/19 Falken EuroWinter tires. Never even gotten close to stuck, and they wear VERY well.

Props to you guys, I've driven in snow on vacations in and around ski areas, just plain sucks IMO.

Mikala · 12-15-2013, 07:43 PM

Great Video... you can tell how slick it is by the van pulling out at the very end.

punkindave · 12-15-2013, 07:57 PM

Got to test my snows this weekend, quite amazing!!
The electronics do a great job which makes it easy to keep straight with minimal driver input. Great car, great tires!

Pro Stock John · 12-15-2013, 09:07 PM

One more video, this was in an unplowed lot (how do I embed the vid)...

You almost had it... just delete the parts that I colored red.

...or edit your post or the first one and see how I pasted it in for you.

another way to do it is add tags around just the part after the = sign
