Re: RSX and snow

Yeah, we here in New England were BLASTED last month (set records for December snow counts.) I had just purchased my '02 Base RSX around Dec. 8th or so (about a week before the first hard snow -- we never even got a proper honeymoon before Mother Nature bitch-slapped the area, followed by freezing cold, ice, and the road salt ) At any rate, I've found the RSX performs reasonably well -- even with the Kumho tires that I have mounted. The part about it tending to get hung up on deeper snow mounds and whatnot is definitely true, but then again it's not an SUV I imagine this is even more of a concern for Type S owners with their slightly lower ride height. Actually, I find my RSX handles snow BETTER than my '94 Accord did -- especially on uphills. The only part that takes more finesse is the accelerator -- easier to break traction!
