Re: best snow going 2 wheel drive saab Posted by bobc [Email] (#473) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bobc) on Sun, 7 Jan 2024 19:18:57 In Reply to: best snow going 2 wheel drive saab, rich, Sun, 7 Jan 2024 12:23:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've driven a 900, 9000, og9-5 and ng9-5 with AWD. The AWD ng9-5 was great but I'll leave that out of the ranking.
of mine, the 900 with 4 snow tires is the best. I didnt have snows on the 9000 but it was ok. And the OG9-5 is the worst, by far! An OG9-5 with 4 snow tires is just tolerable in the snow.
I don't understand why the 9-5 is so bad in the snow, and without 4 snow tires I would not even bother leaving home if there is a chance of snow.
note: I live in eastern NC where snow is rare and when we do get it is usually very wet and slushy. Even with 1 or 2 snow events per year, the 9-5 is so bad that I put snow tires on (one car) every year, just in case.
