Hey guys, just signed up on the forum, nice to meet ya'll :)


Anyways, wanted to ask you experts a question. I am debating
on getting an XLR. I currently have a BMW-M3 (which I never drove in winter
and can't due to terrible snow/ice handling). I am interested in giving it in
as a trade in for an XLR. My question being, is the XLR O.K. to drive in winter?
Keeping in mind I am from Montreal, where we get alot of snow.


Thanks for your input!

Is it Good? Well that depends on what you compare it to. Compared to my Hummer H2, the answer is no. However, I can say that on fairly flat ground is does much better than the BMW I use to have. If winter weather is a big factor, I would highly reccommend a more aggressive tire. That said, I think that you will find it acceptable in most conditions.

Used my XLR during the Windy City winter of 03-04--no problems. Have to store my 98 vette roadster, but the XLR is a different story---had zero problems--GO FOR IT! :flag

Winter in Houston is top down driving at its very best.

We get most of our ice mid Jul thru Sept - but its the kind we put in our iced tea. :glol That's also the season when we put the top up.

Sorry 'bout your Expos.
