Honda Car Forum

Is the TSX any good in snow. I'm thinking about getting one but am
concerned that it might be terrible on snowy roads.

Thanks,

Brian

it depends mostly on the driver..
saying a car is bad in snow is silly.. winter tires + safe following
distance + topped off fluids + a good driver = a safe car.
it might be a short car, so it might want to rotate more, but if you drive
how the car wants to be driven (thats called a good driver) then you
shouldn't worry about it.

I have a 02 Accord, 4 cy. Automatic Transmission. It performed badly in
snow. Many times I have to use reverse gear to get me out of snow. The
transmission won't allow me to choose start with 2nd gear. If you have the
manual transmission I imagine it would be better. And I heard many people
complain about Accord's poor performance in snow.

Front wheel drive cars work pretty well in the snow (within limits) as SNESC
said, with winter tires. I am guessing the stock tires won't be very good,
but its simple enough to fix. Obviously if you are going up steep icy hills
and trudging through lots of deep snow, go AWD or get a 4x4 truck.

That has to do with the shitty tires that come on the car - a good all
season tire will do much for the handling.
