This is not a good vehicle for snow. It doesn't matter how much is packed into the trunk. If there are a few inches, I cannot get through the snow. Once the snow is packed, I can get through it, but cannot move up the slight grade into the circle I live on or the neighboring streets. I had to abandon the vehicle in the middle of an intersection on this day. There was 2 inches of snow on the ground. I spend the last two days stuck at home because I could not get the car moving and the dealership told me I need more "aggressive" tires. I loke the gas mileage when I travel, but it is definitely not a good winter car for snowy areas and if it's your only car (I am a single woman in her 50's) don't buy it.

fishtailing - low pro tires

My 2013 Hyundai Elantra came with factory low pro tires. I immediately noticed when driving on highway or interstate a sense of fishtailing when hitting a bump or pothole in the road. I live in Iowa and the winters here can be extreme...and of course, after a snow storm yesterday I noticed significant problems driving today. If the roads are not completely clear and there are ruts from the snow/ice the car will continuously fish tail and you can feel the back-end being "thrown" a little bit. Needless to say, it seems I'm the slowest on the road because of this issue. I cannot believe Hyundai hasn't had enough complaints about this problem to warrant a recall. I'm sure as with anything it will take someone getting killed before it becomes an issue to them. I will be trying new standard tires and if that doesn't work....a new car will be in my future. I would not recommend low pro tires to anyone!!
