What's up everyone? I'm new to the forum and have a quick question. My mind has been pretty much made up about my next vehicle, but before I take the plunge there is one thing I am worried about. For those who have driven their ES's in the winter, what are your honest opinions on how the vehicle handles in the snow? I live and work on Long Island and Manhattan respectively, and do lots of winter/snow driving.
P.S. I have been reading all of your posts for a short while and have already learned a lot. Thanks everyone!!!

Welcome to Club Lexus. Please be more descriptive in your topic headings, as your current topic makes a search impossible. I doubt anyone will search for "Winter Wonderland". As you continue to use the forum, I'm sure you'll thank me in the future when you are doing a search.
And speaking of snow, there is already some threads discussing this.

I went through the past winter in Colorado - my previous ES300 had better traction than the patrol cars, my Michelin HydroEdge tires gave a lot of the boost; the car did it's share with the traction control, the ABS also got guite a workout. It is a great winter car, except when the snow is over 10" deep.
Oh yeah, pretty good driver, too!

No problems with mine except for trying to blast out of a parking spot with wet snow 8" deep. I had to shovel the snow out before the front wheels would grab but the car was good in Northeast PA snow.
