What if you're vietnamese?

Well if you are vietnamese, pack a couple of bags of pho noodles in the back.

koreans just keep their grandmothers in the trunk to help push.

just remember to toss in a bag of diapers and a couple bags of rice in their every month or two, or you'll have to steal some new ones.

Wow, you guys must be weenies. I have Nokian RSi's on my G and it's fine in the snow and ice. No better or worse than anything else I've ever owned. Might be worse in deep snow 'cause it's a bit lower, but I've had no problems.

I'll get the sedan instead!
just sold my g coupe for this exact reason, got a chevy pickup now. got tired of calling out of work when it snowed. 2 years ago, it started blizzarding at lunchtime. by the time lunch was over, there was like 2 inches of snow on the ground. had to bum a ride from a coworker who dropped my off close to home, and then waited 3 hours for someone to pick me up and drop me at home. never gonna do it again.

If you had seen what a G can do with snow tires, you would still have the G. I snow drift with absolute control. All you need is snow tires and nerves of steel I guess...hah

I feel the same way. My G with Blizzaks exceeded my expectations last year. Was I sliding on ice- Yes. Was I still able to drive in a controlled manner - Yes. I would never sacrifice a WHOLE year of driving for those FEW days a year when it's really not smart to take any car out, regardless if it's a G or a beater. You guys do what you want, some of us just love how fun the G could be in the snow. Be safe either way.
