| I just bought a 2003 toyota corolla. I live in Minnesota and we are getting a lot of snow this year. Is corolla reliable and safe for winters ? I had a Hyundai Accent earlier which was really light. Could anyone else share their winter experience in corolla ? Would sandbags in the trunk help on icy roads ? | |

Replying to: terceltom (Oct 21, 2008 9:53 am) Back in the bad old days, when we drove rear-wheel-drive cars that had heavy engines in the front and little weight in the back, we put sandbags in the rear in the hope of improving rear wheel traction. Your Corolla, however, is front-wheel-drive. Putting sand bags in the rear would not help. The most important thing you can do is to buy a second set of wheels and mount snow tires on them. Not all-season tires, but real, honest to goodness snow tires. You'll be amazed at the difference they make. |
