RE: This car is horrible when it comes to snow

I had more problems in my parents 2004 Jeep Cherokee w/ 4wd than I did with the Stang. The Jeep is like driving a freaking tank and it handles like one too.

RE: This car is horrible when it comes to snow

You need to get a set of snow tires. I have had my mustang for 2 NY winters so far and have not had any problems. The only issue that I have had was after adding the CAI and tune. If I had parked on an area of ice or snow, leaving in 2nd gear is a bit easier than in 1st. Not that there were any problems, but I can tell there was more wheel silppage because the traction control would kick in more. Besides that, not a problem for a daily driver.
Actually, it's the stock tires that are horrible in snow, and rain, not the best on a dry road either.

Not even driving in snow, just to park or get out of the parking. I got stuck at least 3 times in the last two days. I had to have people push me out since I kept spinning out at school -_-

Thank God it only snows a few times a year here, otherwise I'd destroy this car. I know I should have gotten some weight in the trunk, but eh. My 2 cents

I do not want to sound like a dick by saying this so I hope you'll forgive me in advance if I do sound like one, but I just gotta say that my first thought when seeing this thread was.....really, are you the least bit surprised that this car is not good in the snow? Come on, be serious. It's a performance car, not an SUV, and for that reason,it shouldn't be criticized or "destroyed" for failing to satisfy your expectations on the white stuff. That would be like me saying my Stang didn't perform as well as I thought it should in the baja sands or four-wheelin' in the hills of Utah. It's not made for that!

RE: This car is horrible when it comes to snow

Well, in AZ even we had an "ice" day last month.... got a little tire spin making a LH at a light, and a good Monsoon Rain will make just about anything loose traction. You just have to anticipate underANY condition - and don't exceed the limitations of the vehicle. The rears have been breakin' loose on slick roads since for as long as I can remember. I remember my Dad putting 4 or 5 bags of cement in the trunk of the stang even with the snow tires (upstate NY)
