how is the CRX in the snow?

any tips for driving in the winter?

should i be putting something in the back to weigh it down?

i drove it a few days at the end of winter last year and it felt like i was losing control a few times

drive safely and always be on guard..... those things are so light.
my friend crashed his CRX one winter many years back and it was b/c of stupid ice.

if you put weight in the back, you will lose traction because you are taking more traction away from the drive wheels.

i was always wondering about that since the car is fwd
but my dad keeps telling me that it helps haha

Definately wrong!! CRX is a great car for bootin around in winter, as long as you get some good winter's. Crappy tire sells a great set of winter tires for about $54 a piece (185-60R14) only I don't remember the name...:dunno:

i drove my crx for 2 winters and it was fine. It went into the ditch once but ANY car would have with 2 feet of unplowed snow on the road. There fine you'll be fine just watch out for other people on the road

weight in the rear of a vehicle really only helps if it a rear wheel drive vehicle.
