Snow tires kicked ass this morning. Didn't slip once. First snow of the year and they hadn't plowed yet.

Mechanic too. I use snow tires on my B6 Passat Wagon and prefer it over an AWD top heavy SUV.

I prefer subcompact hatches but couldn't find one up here when I moved, so I settled for '01 Forester. They're smaller than the new ones which is the only reason I considered it

My wife drives a 2014 Mazda3 hatch and my other is a 2001 mk4 vr6 gti. Hot hatch FTW. Subaru's are easy to work on.
