im thinking about buying one and was just wondering how it does in the now. if you have a 4th or 5th gen and have driven it in the snow please let me know how it did. thanks

 

Like every other honda. Your tires are probably the biggest factor in this case.

Probably not that best car for the snow but I would still get it.

 

With the right tires, it's just fine. The stock RE92s are spooky, though.

 

driven my car in the snow.. 4th gen.. too low tho.. kinda got stuck gettin outa the driveway. besides that. it wasnt that bad besides it got dirty.lol if its not lowered.. it should be fine just like any other car since its FWD

 

the correct question would be: how are YOU in the snow? your automobile basically does what you tell it to do....if you understand physics and you don't tell your car to do something stupid, you shouldn't have any trouble....but to answer your question....

i've owned 3 preludes and an accord....i've driven them all in 1-6" of snow and the only problem i ever had was trying to go up a dirt driveway that had a 16inch deep snowdrift....it didn't go very far, so i stuck it in reverse and parked in the street....basically clearance and skill are your only issues

 

I drove my 4th gen w/ stock tires that were pretty worn out. It wasn't alot of snow (like 1-3") but it was alright. As long as you know the limit of your own skills and how hard you can push the car it'll be ok.

 

i havent gotten to yet since it hasnt really snowed here but i think it would be decent.

4th gens are fine...as long as you know how to use the e-brake

But other things can F that up for ya. Take me for example.

About two winters ago, I tried driving on an icey day w/ my Prelude, which was lowered ~2.5 inches, had horrible camber, and the insides of my tires were worn smooth. I'm going 30 MPH on a completely straight road, when all of the sudden my car turns a 180 in the middle of the road and slides into a ditch. LUCKILY it was directly in front of a redneck buddy's house, and within 5 minutes I had him and his dad in their trucks w/ winches pulling me out

Got good tires? Got a good, non-performance alignment? Not lowered much? Then you should be fine.

Yeah, if ya wanna smack a curb! I'll leave that story for another day.....

 

two words: Bridgestone Blizzak.

I have LM-22s, while I'm not going to tout that I'm unstoppable or any such nonsense, I haven't gotten stuck, I haven't had any trouble getting or maintaining traction and they're not terribly loud either at highway speeds.

Of course they're an arm and a leg, so get the WS-50s and call it a day. (Once again, this doesn't mean that you can drive like an a$$hole, but it'll make the car definitely more surefooted in the snow).

 

Just don't drive on summer tires and be more careful than usual.

 

bump 4 summer tires in the snow i got a 3rd gen lude and im rocken nitto gens (the new street slick) in milwaukee where we have 2 ft of snow all over and thats not the most fun but with a decent snow tire and a camber kit if its lowerd youll be fine
