I drove Fiero GT in the winter years ago...it would plow through stuff. Just had to watch parking lots...low stance cars can get hung up.:cheers:

I drove 914 all year around through snowy winter in college decades ago, and it did work well. Much better heater than 73 Beetle that almost killed me with leaky heat exchangers blowing carbon monoxide.

As a tow truck driver in the mountainous region north of Montreal told a friend of mine, "4X4s are fine, you just find them a bit further out in the field..."
