Snow buildup in the wheel wells

[jayeh]

Anyone else find this car absolutely awful for snow buildup in the wheel wells? My car has the 15" wheels and there is almost no room to kick the snow off between the wheel well and the tire.

I've taken to parking with the wheel turned to full lock and use a windshield scraper to get the snow off the car. I had two full shovel fulls of snow from my little car! It was a 24" shovel too! The other day I had to use a crow bar to pry the frozen back off my car!

It's the only car I've ever seen that routinely builds up snow around the tire that forms to the tire itself and almost goes down to the ground! Sometimes I swear it builds up to the point where it slows down the car!

Anyone figure out a solution other than scraping it off every time I park?
