 I live in Alaska where we get lots of 
snow. This winter I did not have one 
problem getting around in the snow or 
ice. I like the auto lock hubs, no more 
getting out to turn the hubcaps! I also 
tested the automatic, and it did not 
seem to do as well as the manual 
transmission. Also, a person cannot 
beat the warranty on these cars. A 
great little UTE!
