My comments added in red.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!Definitely
- car starts flawlessly in the cold (-20 celcius) Had one really cold start while I listened and was a little sluggish.
- traction is acceptable. Occasional disengaging of the traction control button is required to get out of deep snow I have a set of winter tires on mine. Traction is excellent for FWD.
- steering is a little flaky. I find the wheel jumps around a fair bit a low speeds and tends to 'track' the ruts too easilyDid not notice this problem.
- defogging/visibility. The car seems to heat up quickly and clears the windscreens fast from frost and ice. good feature. Could use mirror heaters. Your car does have exterior mirror heaters. Exhaust fogging up rear window is something of a pain in the a$$ though.
- tires are acceptable. Definitely less traction than full on winter tires, but still pretty good for an all season. Running full on winters here.
- clearance is good, no problems getting over the mound and ruts everywhere Agreed. Although I have had mine plow snow with the front end. Tends to throw snow right over the hood and into the windshield. lol
- headlights are weak when covered in snow and grime. Could use an HID upgrade Brighter headlights are always a welcome upgrade.
total score? 7/10 for a FWD car.Or an 8.

So you haven't washed it in over a month?Haven't washed it since I sealed it before the snow. So far so good though. I will wash it as soon as we get above zero degrees here.
