I live in New England and I'm about to pass on buying this car because I'm afraid of what it will be like to drive in the snow, any suggestions?

With good snow tires, its extremely fun to drive in the snow. With staggered summer performance tires on, its dangerous to drive... if you can even get it started moving. After my first winter with my RWD, I bought a second set of wheels with snow tires on to switch out each winter. Its a pain in the *** but it makes a huge difference. I now have an AWD IS350, so we'll see how much of a difference it makes.

It depends on your driving skill. Im in New England central to be exact where we get the most snow in the state cause of elevation. I've yet to have one issue since 5 years of winter season. Even last year with the record over 100 inches my RWD still passing awd and 4x4 on the highways. Good driver and snow tire does no difference then awd. Another note the snow does stick to the ground all winter long. Once it snow and street are plowed it just clean road like summer time.
