Default Winter driving?

Hey! I'm a potential xB owner, and my one concern is that it seems so close to the ground. How on earth does it get through snowdrifts???

Here is Southwestern Michigan that's something we must consider! Please let me know how your car handles in the winter time.

Thanks--
Ann

Here in Chicago, I wouldn't know cause I don't drive the Box in the crappy winters. You need to buy a "beater" and save the Box for the nice summers...

I roll mine year round. Handle decent enough. I just lowered mine too. Just pay attention to where you are going and have good all season tires.

just don't lower it too far, 1 inch drop is low enough for the winters

I know on Se-detroit.com there are a few guys there that drive all year on their box check that out and see what they have to say. The site is down for repair right now but will be up in a day or so... hopefully.
