Funny, in Aus we do not have seat warmers but we have mirror heaters and we do not get snow other than in the mountains.....
Winter Driving... first impressions
Well, let's qualify this thread by stating that I live in Canada. Edmonton to be exact, and we have had full on winter cold and snow since the middle of October.
Impressions:
- seat warmers are awesome!
- car starts flawlessly in the cold (-20 celcius)
- traction is acceptable. Occasional disengaging of the traction control button is required to get out of deep snow
- steering is a little flaky. I find the wheel jumps around a fair bit a low speeds and tends to 'track' the ruts too easily
- defogging/visibility. The car seems to heat up quickly and clears the windscreens fast from frost and ice. good feature. Could use mirror heaters.
- tires are acceptable. Definitely less traction than full on winter tires, but still pretty good for an all season.
- clearance is good, no problems getting over the mound and ruts everywhere
- headlights are weak when covered in snow and grime. Could use an HID upgrade
total score? 7/10 for a FWD car.
