The other thing is you must have a minumum of "all- season" tires. The performance tires that came on some models won't move in the snow. So if you have a V6 model or a V6 model with performance tires you're best to leave the car in the garage when it snows. If you have a GT/GTP with performance tires, get a set of all-season tires and you should be okay.

^X2!
Our V6 was VERY hard to maneuver in the 6" of snow we got on Sunday.
I guess the "all-season" DWS Continentals aren't the best for driving in that much snow.
I'm getting new winter tires installed later this week; will post an update after the next snowfall.
