Yaris in snow

What is the design in engineering which causes the engine RPM to die down as you try to accelerate up a snowy hill? Impossible to get any traction on a slippery incline. I find this design exactly the wrong thing to happen when trying to get out of a slippery condition.

driving in snow up a hill

If revs drop, incline and gravity are requiring you to downshift and/or give it more throttle If revs climb w/o proportional vehicle velocity, a slippery surface, differential and tire type/condition are requiring less throttle.

Awful in the snow for me ....

We just bought a 2008 CE automatic and put X-ice 3s on it.

I think the car may be too light as it always follows the ruts. My daughter lost a mirror side-swiping a parked car as the little Yaris got pulled in the rut towards the car.

Also might be that we're used to driving manual transmissions and don't like the way the auto will spin the wheels.

My two cents.
Take care
