Well we got belted last night and today with almost 3-8 inches (depending on which area of the county you were in) of snow and sleet, freezing rain. My '13 LE 4-Door with older General Altimax HP tires halfway through their life cycle did "incredible". :bow:

If you are a good driver and understand how snow and ice work on roadways and the do's and dont's, I am telling you, the Yaris is one of the best snow cars out there.

I could not get it to lose traction or slip. It climbed an icy, snow covered steep hill from a stop with no trouble.

The only thing that would give it trouble is very deep roughed-up snow where plows had piled it up at intersections, the ground clearance would be an issue,,,,,but it fought it's way on through quietly and kept going. :clap:

Do not be afraid to drive these little buggers in the wintry stuff, but don't go crazy either.

why?

Where are you that you got that much? I live in Harnett County and we maybe received an inch or two. I was so looking forward to a good snow and I am sorely disappointed

Been there, done that!

This was in the parking lot at work FYI. This was the snow that fell during the day while I was at work.

That amount of snow would shut down North Carolina for a month. We received an inch and the local bank here is closed, and I would not be shocked if the schools were closed for a few days too.

in northern Greensboro in Guilford County I had about 5 inches of snow to cover the roof of my yaris. I didnt drive in the fresh snow but it handled my icy parking lot just fine.
