It drives like a normal car. Just have the correct tires and don't do anything stupid.

When I still had mine, with some LM25 Blizzaks and the TC it was a total beast in the snow.

Mine is my daily driver and I have had it since 2009. This will be the 4th winter with it.

I am also a firm believer in the Blizzaks. They are an awesome tire. Expensive, yes, but worth it.

I was a little worried when I first got the car and driving it in the winter. I went from a front wheel drive Grand Prix to this. I actually like the way this handles in the winter as compared to the Grand Prix. Yes, there are certain times traction doesn't come instantly, but that is never an issue. I live on a large hill and haven't had a problem making it home.

The electronic traction control is awesome during the winter. If you keep the traction control on, the car automatically brakes when the car is sensing that is it slipping or going sideways. With the traction control on, you can't whip the car sideways. It is a very nice feature when driving during the winter.

As long as the car is equipped with good tires, you should have nothing to worry about.

My wife drives ours in the snow with no problems. I bought some 17" sparco wheels and I think Bridgestone snow tires. I bought the whole tire and wheel package through Tire Rack. I think they were right around $1600. Wheels, tires, TPMS, and lugs.
