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
I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.
Pros: great on unplowed roads
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.
Pros: nice soft compound, good initial performance
Cons: will not last, structural failures
They were fine for my mini cooper in Southern California. I’d get the warranty tho!
Pros: fine in Southern California
Cons: get the warranty
Vehicle:
MINI
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
Don’t go with phantom I work at discount tire and I’ve heard so many people say that if there’s even a little bit of water on the road they lose traction
Cons: lose traction in water
