Default Winter Driving

We have had Subaru's in the family since 1988 and become accustomed to their excellent winter driving manners, especially with studded shoes.

So we wondered how the FEH (4wd) would do this winter compared to our old standard. Fitted with a set of Michelin Latitude Ice-X studdless snow tires the FEH took us through a real winter here in the PNW. And did it with flying colors. It is quite surefoot and stable and has earned our confidence just as the Sub had.

It is very predictable, the 4wd system is seamless. Coupled with the braking systems and ABS it is a real gem. On packed snow or icy conditions the car real pulls through. To say the least we are very impressed.

That's good news Spud. We are loving ours too, though have yet to test it in real winter conditions.

Mine's done great in the worst Denver winter in 80 years.

And I have a 2x4 with stock tires to boot!

I have been very pleased.

Hi,

This is my first winter with my FEH (mainly, I got it at the end of the last winter). I also put on the Latitudes and am happy with the performance. We have not had as much snow as usual here, but they work well so far.

Cheers,

Roch
