How is a 98 GS in the snow?

[BadBoyz]

I got this car back in like july and i was wondering on how well it handled in the snow. If it sucked to drive in snow like a mustang or what...and i am told by a guy at my dad's work that we should get Blizzad or something like that snow tires and they r the best and i just wanted to know how a FWD NT 98 GS is in the snowy/slick weather conditions. Thanks

I had a 95 GS for about three years, it handles alot better than rear wheel drive cars in the snow/rain. You get much better traction because you have the weight of the engine to give you grip. Anyway, as long as you don't hot-dog around, you should be just fine, but snow tires still might be a good option, because you probably get more snow than we do here in Ohoi.

My GS took me into a ditch when it snowed.

I have a 99 GS Spyder and it's surprisingly good in the snow. I had a 91 Ford Probe before and the Eclipse is by far better in the snow.

I'm sure it did. It looks like you could plow all the damn snow your car is so low.

My neighbor has a '98 GS with Blizzaks on it for the winter. I was amazed at how well it did in the snow two years ago. He crept it up an ice-covered driveway uphill.

past dsm was totalled due to "winter conditions" so that might tell you how i feel towards the situation...

Mine handled fairly well once the roads were plowed. I couldnt even get out of my parents driveway without pushing snow around so it chilled until the roads were cleared. It did handle well despite the slush and ice
