How's ure Civic handle in the winter? --- Pics of my "Boo"

Hi all. See attachment for a winter pic of my car, "Boo" --- Yes, the same Boo as in mario kart!! haha don't ask.

so the question is: how did your civic handle in harsh winter conditions?

I was surprised at how well the stock setup was. gripped the snow, and maneuvered well -- never got stuck once in the heavy snowstorm. meanwhile, rwd cars such as bmw's were sliding all over the place while i passed everyone.

vroom vroom.

I won't have my Si until August, but here's my sister's 2004 Civic Coupe LX back in February after 1 night of snowfall :








Don't act like you're not impressed.

I have no idea ha, that's the cool thing about it. You'd think it would collapse at some point.

lol civic is great in winter! Riding on Nokians, so the grip is pretty awesome! One day it had snowed less than one inch, i had to get to school, it took me about... 30 mins to get down the street ( with my slick hankook summer tires ) took an other 30 mins to get the civic back into the garage, melted the day after and got the winter tires back on!

Overall, i am very pleased with the cars handling in the snow! My avatar's a pic of my car in the snow, all cleaned up with the taillights tinted and all! I kinda like winter too, and here in Montreal, we get a hell of a winter...
