Hi everyone,

I've never posted in this section before because I own a DA and a DC Teg. I hope this question have not been asked yet. I'm thinking about trading my DA Teg for an RSX. My question is, how does the RSX drive in the winter? I live in Canada, so at times we can get alot of snow or just your normal regular snow fall. I drive my DA in the winter with snow tires and it's fine. It's only when there's deep snow that I have to drive back and forth a few times to get out of my car out of my street.
So, it would be nice to hear from RSX owners and even previous owners of a DA Teg that bought an RSX about your thoughts of driving an RSX in the winter.

Thank you.

 

Not trying to flame, but it's just a normal FWD car. It should be excellent in the rain/snow. Won't be any different than any other FWD car.

No, not at all. I appreciate you responding. I know it's a normal FWD car. My DA Teg. is abit higher than the RSX, so that's why I asked the question. I never lowered my DA. Anyways, thanks again.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. Living up there, I'd definitely invest in a set of steelies with snow tires though.

 

Yeah the OEM tires are alittle wider so it may have some traction issues in the snow so a set of winter tires would maybe be wanted there

It snowed a bit last winter and even with the stock tires(though worn a bit) I was amazed at how well the car handled the snow even up and down the Seattle hills. Aftermarket wheels/tires may be different though.

 

Thanks guys for all your help. I will definitely get a set of steel rims and snow tires. I have that for my current DA Teg, so I will definitely do the same for the RSX.
I've always owned 4 door sedans because it was just easier for me to throw my stuff in the back seat. But after test driving the RSX, I fell in love with it!
I never thought I would buy a 2 dr. coupe, but damn the RSX is one sweet ride.
I was a bad girl and was doing 150 kms. on a 100 km. zone while test driving it. I think the salesman was abit scared.
