It will be fine if you can drive with sense just like everything else out there. The biggest failure of all snow driving is the link that connects the gas pedal to the steering wheel.

7 years ago my DD was an 11 second fox body mustang that lived on BFG drag radials and I drove it 14 miles one way to work in the snow all the time. Not an issue if you have some sense.

you live in the jersey/pa area... so the 5 days a year that it snows... you wont have a problem. if you get some good snow tires for the car (front & rear) and know how to drive in the snow, you will be alright

a set of snow tires is about the same price as a winter beater... Depends on if you can live with driving a pos on the snowy days.

No such thing as to low for the snow. I had a friend with a civic 2 inchs off the ground and he drove it year round. I had a civic 3 inchs off the ground all around and I drove it in the snow.

dude, driving the S in the snow is like having **** sex with a sandpaper condom... its just not gonna work out...

if we (jersey resident) get more than 3 inches your [freak]ed... you might as well be a snow plow... i drove about 20 feet last year... laughed at myself, pulled it back into the driveway and took my sisters grand cherokee...

if ur gonna get the car, dont be a jackass, use ur head...

I ran Michelin X-ICE's on OEM wheels. 205 front/225 rear. For the few times it did snow, I did better than everyone else out there. I'd go narrower if they offered it.

lol dude.. pointless.. get an s2k.. but also spend about 800-1000 on a beater.. such as I did for those 3-5 days a year it snows or when you just wanna go [freak] around.. I got a 90 corolla sr5 with a new engine for 900 bucks... cheap..35mpg, and a little bit more than the 2-3 inches from the ground my daily is
