I'm picking mine up tomorrow...yay!!! I doubt we will have much more snow this season here (I work in Westchester County, NY and live in CT), but you never know. I will put snow tires on next season, but overall, how's it drive in the snow. Just curious as to your opinions.

Thanks!

I'm up in Ithaca, NY, and I gotta say that the xB does really well in snow. I've pulled out of unplowed parking spaces and driven through unplowed parking lots with it(using the original tires.) ABS and traction control both work great too. I don't think you'll have any problems. 8)

The xB does very well in the snow with the stock rims and tires. It sucks a$$ with my 18's :lol: :lol:
