and bugs....

+1, except for the cliff comment...hehehe

Hey Guys........it's all about delivery.......

There are ways to make a point without sounding arrogant and vidictive

I actually agree with what bugattiveyron88 has posted but I DISAGREE with how he conveys his meassage.

If you live where I think you live, then I would strongly consider a winter vehicle. I live in similar conditions to the muskoka's with a wicked lake effect. My subdivision is poorly plowed and it snows heavy and erractically here to the point where my snow plower needs to be here 4-5 times a day.......which he will cannot do. In fact he got stuck in my driveway last week and he drives a Ford F-250 HD diesel with a lot of weight on the bed!!! I got stuck many times last year and once this year. I now have a Chevy Silverado with new snow tires and am VERY HAPPY with this decision.

I have made this point many times before.......if your roads are plowed consistently, you will not have a problem (ie. most major cities). This car will will consistently get stuck or you will lose ESP,braking everytime you try to drive it through 10cm of snow +/- ice or more. Please use some common sense and learn from the mistake of others.

All the best

If I lived in Muskoka in the winter, I agree with you, it would be a terrible decision. I'm in metro Montreal however, where snow clearing happens relatively regularly. As long as I get some new tires, and strategically avoid hills in the worst condition, then I'll be fine.

Yes. Avoiding hills is essential

I learned that the hard way.

Driving in snow sucks. I went to big bear and it was like fast and the furious tokyo drift. My car was all over the place there were constant patches of ice. Next time I am putting on the traction cables. They didn't require them at the time, but these cars are not meant for this type of driving. If you live in a place like that it would be a must for good snow tires.
