    just make sure when going into a turn to build up alot of speed, dab the breaks late, then slam on the gas and turn the wheel really hard. oh and most of the time it also helps if you close your eyes.

    these cars are kinda low so try not to plow through deep snow. you will get high centered and have to have some random guy in a durango come pull you out.

    I drove all of last winter with a bumb hub...and therefore, no abs or traction control....that was interesting to say the least.

    Depends alot on the tires i think. I had hankooks the first 4 years i had my car. Last year i bought Kuhmo ASX's and they are horrible in the snow. Honestly the GP has gotten around in the snow better than any vehicle i have owned.
