AudiOn19s Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm surprised to hear the CTS-V is soo bad in the snow. We use our E55 on bad weather days and very rarely is the snow a problem for that car which is pretty similar in stats to the -V. Hasn't been the worst winter around here but my wife has driven the E55 every day this winter so far without issue and that's on all season tires not snows.

Not to mention all the knuckleheads in Chrysler 300's and what not do fine. I'm still considering it as the company will also be paying me $.57.5 mileage / going rate so even if I travel in crap weather to Michigan, I can rent a car and use the money from the mileage to cover the costs. Like Paul said too, we have the Suburban Assault Minivan too for weekend stuff. Good problems to have I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm surprised to hear the CTS-V is soo bad in the snow. I agree. Matt (90G60) isn't piping up on this topic as much as I would, but he's having a great winter in his '07 CTS-V on snow tires. I'll mention again that even CLEETUS is having a great winter on new Winterforce tires. Tim, no matter what you get, make sure you budget for snow tires. I'm sure you'll get by just fine. I'm also in the same boat: $0.575/mile this year, and the bank would much rather me just get a rental car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably find a second set of Caddy wheels or something really sharp aftermarket for my summer tires and use the stock ones for winter rubber.

C-Mart Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Is it doable? Sure, but I have been driving my truck when I know it is going to snow. If you check out the Facebook CTS-V group whenever it snows 1-2 people wreck theirs and post about it. I'm surprised to hear the CTS-V is soo bad in the snow.

kirks5oh Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've never really tried the v in the winter. The ex did, and nearly wrecked---which is one of many reasons why she's the ex It's hard for me to drive the v in even cold weather, when I can drive my gtr like a jackass in literally any weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left it alone as mine is missing a supercharger :megusta: Yes, I've driven mine everyday on snows and it's been fine. The only stress factor has been getting stuck behind FWD/AWD vehicles that are driving way to "cautious". Then again I have the same problem in the summer. Mentioned earlier that I've been wanting a wagon (this thread isn't helping). If I were to get one, it would come with another back-up vehicle.

Aaron Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's hard for me to drive the v in even cold weather, when I can drive my gtr like a jackass in literally any weather Not on the same level, of course, but this is exactly the reason I'd choose the S4 over the V.

Dr. Pomade Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 BTW, I'm finding that Uber is a very viable alternative to driving a nice car in shitty weather. For $5, I get picked up at my door within five minutes of opening the Uber app, I get driven downtown and dropped off at the door of my office, which means that I'm not paying for parking, using gas, worrying about where I'm going to park, worrying about parking a nice car in a crappy parking garage, or walking around in crappy weather wearing nice clothes. I think Marc's spot on: get the nice car you want and rent or Uber whenever it's not feasible to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
