So this is my first winter in the CL. I am pretty good at driving in the snow, and have a place at a ski resort in WV (about 4 hours west of Baltimore/Washington), average annual snowfall is 12-14 FEET. So, how is your CL in the snow? Most other owners in my development have 4WD, but I never had problems in the Accord since the roads are paved and plowed regularly, so I'm thinking the CL will be the same. I am a little worried about having a white car in the frequent white-out conditions on the two-lane non-divided highway from the Allegheny Front up to the nearby town, a stretch of about 20 miles. See http://www.mountaintoprealty.com/index.php?a=location for a map of the general area I'm talking about.

 

I live in Connecticut, my experience so far with snow has been all about the tires, I had some summer sports tires on it before and it was horrible, I would start spinning on flat surfaces if the roads were icy, but after I put on some affordable all-season tires I was straight and never had any problems whatsoever driving in the snow.

 

i spin like a champ, but my tires are anyways...but its alrite

 

I like yankin my ebrake and drifting. It's fun. As for driving, it's good. Just drive slow.

 

If you are a smart driver then it is really fine. If you've got good tires then you should really have no probals.

 

if i dont go slow it slides around pretty easily, but the heated seats in the winter makes up for it

 

Winter tires will make the difference. Get a set of Blizzaks and you will have no problems on the snow and ice. If you have a manual, then sometimes its tricky to start moving once you've stopping on and incline. You just can't give it too much gas.

 

mines great in the snow

 

and My car is an all terrain vehicle, I put some X-Ice's on it, and I can go anywhere

 

i just got some x-ice's too

 

I just bought some brand new "all weather" Kumho Ecsta tires, I seriously doubt it's going to snow much in everett (seattle area) this year, but hopefully these will perform better than the 1/8 inch tread on my current tires :P

 

I also have shitty tires and they show. The grip just isn't there like it was.
I'm diein to get some new tires soon but that's still up in the air.
Overall though the traction ain't bad...FWD, heavy car. Can't really go wrong unless you're a careless driver.

 

<-------careless driver according to pd twice and i was reckless once too.

 

to answer the question not bad slid alittle when there was ice on the ground but its ice.
snow is not a big prob yet. when i was on the ice though the abs scared the sh*t me i thought i broke something cuz of the grinding noise.black ice is a killer!

 

Haha i said screw driving this car in the winter, and got the jeep, my CL sucks big time in the snow, its just to stiff and i dont switch my rims and tires for the winter so thats problay got to do with alot of it but i could care, i use to raise it and switch to the stockies but i got sick of that, not it sits either outside or in the garage

 

I wasn't crazy about how my CL handled on snow (even with new tires)


I thought my old Jetta handled better...and my current A4 w/ quattro is great

 

i hate snow snow = have to raise the car = no good = makes me sad

 

Well mine also doubles as a snow plow

 

my CL was the shit in the snow...i never ever got stuck anywhere and thats saying something in the PA weather i go to school in...and it was fun as hell to go drifting in empty parking lots!!! lol

 

...gotta go play in parkin lots b4 gettin new tires

 

PA weather sux, but my ack is an all terain vehicle.

 

but i bought a 240sx for the winter but it's not like thats any better for the winter

 

My car handles just fine.




... Oh wait, this thread mentioned snow driving. Nevermind.

 

damn people in Florida

 

dont damn us... just cause yall canooks like the snow. besides most of you come down here anyways.. then you run into my car. cant beleive some old couple from quebeck drove all the way down here just to run into prescious. sorry im still alittle sour towards snowbirds.

 

snow=salt=grey car for the week Winter's the only time I envy the taffetas.
tires make some dif...but still, better to take it slow.

 

I'da been so pissed, did u tell them to go back to canadia and never come back?

 

 

ya..people in Quebec are

 

Mine is pretty good in the snow,. just got some GT Champiro winter tires and steelies for the winter,.. no complaints as of yet

 

If I can get up my steep ass drive way with my snow tires, no traction control, and no sliding, I'd say CL's are great in the snow, you should see my driveway
