I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.
Pros: unaffected by snow
Cons: summer tires pointless
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.
Pros: reliable tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
Winter tires are significantly superior to AWD. Should you question that.
Pros: superior to AWD
My 22 WRX was also good in the snow, there was times where people were getting stuck especially on hills and I would just cruise by with no issues. I had pilot sport all season 4 tires which are only meant for light snow and I had no issues.
Pros: good in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.
Pros: beast in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I put snow tires on the day before a pretty good snowfall in Northeast Pa. This is my first WRX, I burned a half tank and had the time of my life. 10/10 best car ive driven in the snow
Pros: best car in snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Usually it is recommended to replace the tyre for puncture on the shoulder or the sidewall but it is a very small nail. Personally I would get it repaired and move it to the rear.
Pros: small nail, get it repaired
Vehicle:
Honda City
Throw some studded tires on and you’ll be fine. I made it back to Saskatchewan after a blizzard in Banff Alberta where it snowed 10” of slush. It was a slow drive dragging through the snow.
Pros: studded tires, keeps going
Cons: slow drive, dragging through snow
Vehicle:
Honda
Those stock tires will give you grief, they give your steering a little annoying dance the closer you hit 170kmph/100mph. Work through those tires. Swapping to something else will almost completely get rid of the wobble.
Cons: steering annoying dance, wobble
Vehicle:
Honda
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
Cons: tires not lasting, early replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
