Driving in hilly Kentuckiana/Cincy in the winter?
Those of you that daily drive your SS 6spds and autos in the winters around Florence/Cincy; would you rate the 5th gen as a year round car with an expierenced RWD driver like myself (may be trading in the car in the sig).
Granted a spare set of wheels with grippy all seasons are a must but what other factors should I expect from the car in these hills? |

Burlington here. I've daily driven a Gen5 for 2 1/2 years now, Pirelli's in warm months, all seasons in cold and no real problems. Obviously, just gotta use common sense during the worst days. Hardly any car/tire setup is gonna get you thru 8" snowfalls but as you know we have had fairly light winters the last few years.

Put snow tires on and you won't have any problems.
