I've made it through two Minnesota winters very easily with snow tires. I never had a rear wheel drive car before this one and I didn't have any problems. With the VDC on you'd have a hard time getting into much trouble. With it off you can start spinning pretty easily, that's what empty parking lots are for.

 

The G ******* sucks in the snow... Even with the VDC off it will still react, its a bitch

 

Canadian Driver here.....
Have a 6MT and 18" Blizzaks....No problems at all in the snow. Be sure to have good winter tires and you should not have a problem at all. We get winters up here that see a ton of snow and fricken cold weather, therefore if i can drive my 04 6MT thoughout a winter you guys should be able to do the same.
Drive Safe.

 

yes i do agree the g sucks a$$ in the snow. i live in detroit area so it snows here for 9 months. even with a little drift of snow i will be stuck in my driveway, and i don't even wanna talk about the leftover when they plow my sub. Any input for best snow tires and cost?

 

So does the G suck a$$ in the snow or the Pilot Sports? Some serious clarification need to be done for the noobs. I've talked constantly about what happens to summer rubber below 50 degrees.
