vr-4 is agood all year round car. aws and awd is good in the rain better traction makes turnin easier. but then again if u wanna be a d/a thas ur fault for not payin attention. snow is a plus in areas and a minus in areas (all this would be stock with sum winter tires)
+ being more weight better traction in the snow
+ being awd instead 2wd u have more tires to get a hold and move ur but up the road in the snow for even better tracton in ur awd add wait to ur trunk the more the better just be safe and know that u have to use ur brakes more
- yes it has abs but ur car weighs so much and most u jack rabbits out there love the floor and don't slow down till u see the stop sign mirrored off ur hood.
- the car and ice don't mix at all because weight is ur enemy with ice. so after a day of snow at 25 degrees by 5 pm its 34 good chance it will be ice in the morning so leave that beast where its nice and safe.
here's some really helpful tips in any car. if u have never driven in the snow don't drive fast and dont' wait 6 feet till the stop sign to stop.
cause the next thing u might see is the stop sign in ur rear view mirror or a good chance in ur face cause when u slide u go to the side. roads are at angles so water doesn't stand on them as bad. never hit ur brakes hard, never accelerate or bush the brakes on a bridge cause they usually have worse traction then anything. mainly cause of the cold air passing under the bridge. keep a constant speed so u don't brake loose of the traction. at stop lights and stop signs slow down but never actually stop like ur about to stop. but let the wheels be able to move so u don't have to worry about gettin stuck.
if sum1 has better knowledge about this please correct me. i live in arkansas its like 1/2 ozark mts and 1/4 chenal mts and another 1/4 hills and valleys. so if u think u got it bad with snow dont' say anything till u hear it from us. its normally sleet and ice then snow on top.
sry 4 long post but can be very helpful.
