CLS63 amg S
New Owner-Winter Driving?
Hello...........In October I purchased a CPO 2014 cls63 amg S with 8500 miles on it. Car came from Florida and has never been driven in snow. I live in the Adirondacks (Northeast) and have put car away for the winter. I am having second thoughts and wondering how this car handle's in the snow. My original thoughts when purchasing vehicle was to use all year. Everyday I walk past it to get into my truck I find myself asking why am I not driving it! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!

Definitely drive it and enjoy and don't keep a garage queen, because this car is mass-produced and certainly not a collector's car. At the same time, just make sure your car is not riding on summer tires especially with it from FL. As you know, summer tires turn into hockey pucks when it gets cold. Just remember that having AWD doesn't mean it's good for winter. AWD helps with starting and going up incline, but you wouldn't be able to go anywhere without traction. Summer tires on snow and ice are dangerous.
