it's pretty hard to keep the car from fish tailing in the snow... my car had trouble going above 30km/h... but then again, i didn't bother changing to snow tires

ive been driving all year round for the past 2 years on all seasons and its perfectly fine in the snow. yes you'll be sliding if you punch the gas but if you drive with care its totally fine. although snow drifting is fun.

i dont know about you guys, but during the cold seasons my S drives like a dream. Of course i believe it will have more power IF i were over there where you guys are. But i just cannot live with the snow. I'm guessing it will be really bad fish tailing. drive safe guys! all the way from CA

Let's see....

Put your keys in the ignition.
Step on the clutch.
Shift to 1st gear... 2nd... 3rd... etc.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Careful around black ice.

I drive my s2k in Edmonton year round, on snows in the winter, and it is perfectly fine unless there is a HUGE dump.

Hell i was driving top down the other day when it was -12 with windchill.
