Seattle area, so indeed not much snow to worry about. But when it did snow here, driving at a reasonable speed (i.e., like other cautious drivers) it was OK. At least better than the RWD Mecedes; I saw a couple of MB that just had the tails sliding all over the place on a light snow day.

I don't know how the OEM tires on Toyota Corrolla perform, but if you want to criticize Honda, at least check out whether the rivals are offering better products.
