My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 |  Snow Have you folks had much experience on snow and ice with your Prius? Is there anything special to be aware of. I remember how good the old VW bugs were on winter roads. I should get my Prius soon and I don't know whether my Prius or Windstar would be better on bad roads. I haven't really driven the Windstar on bad roads either, just the car [Prism] the Prius is replacing. Thank you.. |

When I got out of the military and went back home to Alaska, I bought a 74 Super Beetle. Never did I have problems in the snow with it either. Ben |

But you and I will find out how good the Prius is at the same time :-) People I know that got one last Nov said it was great on snow. |
