    I live in Nebraska so the winters tend to be heavy. I just bought a C and was curious how it fairs in quite a bit of snow and ice?
    Thanks!

    Depends more on the driver. My C handles the NY winter fine.

    Works well for me here in northern Idaho (with studless snow tires). Because of the engine + motor weight over the front wheels, it actually feels a bit better than my old Yaris did. The only issue I've found is that it really doesn't want to spin its tires, so if it snows a lot, then rains a little, and then freezes, I have trouble getting up my steep, curving driveway. I'm pretty sure studs would fix that, but it only occurs a couple of times a winter.

    Speaking of winter driving, I've been out of the winter loop for the past 5 years. Any tips on what i should pack and how to drive? Or just drive slow and nothing bad could ever happen
