With snows, it handles better than most cars out there.
i have the same and i'm actually glad to see the snow. those babies were just waiting to be driven on something other then dry pavement. i think i could have lasted a few more winters had they not been on so early. silly me thinking the first snow would have occurred before valentine's day.

x-type
2 g35s

the new cls500 LOL i was laughing so hard when i saw that.
he probably mustve hated me when i was driving past him at 10mph. thats 11mph faster then what he was doing haha.

The RX8 handles good in the snow, for a rear wheel drive.
