Any Honda models good in snow?
My '94 Accord sure is not. In winter time I foundly think of my old VW
Beetle that would go anywhere in snow without snow tires. This Accord, even with front snow tires, is pretty lame. I wonder if Civics are any better. KJ |

And I mean snow tires on all 4 wheels, not just the fronts. |

The ONLY thing they had going for them -- besides rearwards weight bias -- was tires so narrow that modern motorcycles would be embarrassed to wear them. > This Accord, > even with front snow tires, is pretty lame. Why? Please provide details of the deficiencies. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I don't think it was that bad on the '68 Beetle I used to have. The tires were pretty proportional to the car's body. Just check the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOg3iR-4HXk That was the one that could handle the worst New Jersey winters without snow tires. That's plenty to go for it. When I sold it 6 years later in So. Cal, I got about the same money for that costed me new, not counting the cheaper $ by then, of course. I don't think you could do that with a Honda. >> This Accord, >> even with front snow tires, is pretty lame. > > Why? Please provide details of the deficiencies. I see other front wheel drive sedans drive up on snowed-in uphill where I can not. I used to think that FW drives would be better in the winter, but that Beetle and later RW drive cars I had did much better, such as the RW drive Corolla I used to have (after putting some sand bags in its trunk.)

How about the CRV? Unstoppable. |
