So far it's handling well in snow and cold. I'm plowing right through unplowed/underplowed roads pretty well and stopping is not too fish-tailey. The car also does not make as many interior rattles as in the summer, which you would think would be the opposite; usually the cold causes plastic parts to contract and rattle. But my GT's noises have subsided in the cold weather. In the really hot weather I get all kinds of rattles and annoying creaks. The front disk brakes are still groaning all the time, but I am thinking it's because it's so wet all the time, we don't get much of a break in New England as far as drying out this time of year. Anyway, just thought I'd share that it's a good winter car so far.

Not once did I feel out of control - traction was no problem in light snow and slush, even on ice. -Roy 2004 Tidal Wave blue Elantra GT hatchback Portland, Oregon I got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!
