I guess “Good in the winter” is a relative term. A 4-banger STI with limited clearance isn’t going anywhere fast when it gets deep enough, compared to a truck or SUV with 4L and a locking differential. ---

A 4-banger STI with limited clearance isn’t going anywhere fast when it gets deep enough, compared to a truck or SUV with 4L and a locking differential. If you need 4L and a locking differential to get around then there is probably a driving ban out anyways so it won’t matter. Come to think of it I never had to use 4lo or lock the diff in my jeep for anything but offroading? ---

I would do that with my Speed6. I have yet to even have any troubles when going through any type of snow in the winter. All four wheels with snow tires, AWD \> \* I will never buy another FWD car again (as long as I don’t have to, due to unforseen financial circumstances…) ---

Stockers have a lot of ground clearance. My car is dropped 1in in the front and about 3/4 in the rear and works just fine in the snow. As long as I take my front lip off. I have only ever gotten stuck once and that is when I had all-seasons on it. Since using snow tires, I tried the same “getting stuck” maneuver again and walked right though. Stock height ---

I have a friend that lives in West Falls… He got his brand new Dodge Ram stuck in some mud after he bought it… But, he could drive circles around his stuck truck in a Subaru Justi (?sp) So, he pulled his truck out with a backhoe then crushed the justi and put it into a pit. ---

I Havent gotten stuck in my talon AWD and winter tires FTW, and the winter tires dont even have that much tread left on them I Had a 4ft snow mound around my car when the plows came fine, i got out with no problems whatsoever And my car is lowered like 1.5" all the way around It’s great being able to go around town watching people in brly trucks with their plows get stuck Point the wheel and give it gas, and it goes without hesitation ---
