dratifk Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I live in Rochester NY and I've been told by friends not to get this rear wheel car as it will handle horribly in the snow. Anyone have any opinions? Also, I was told by my dealer that an AWD version will be released this Oct. Is this accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problems with the snow and ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I just needed some reassurance as I currently have an Acura RL which is AWD. I plan on getting an extra set of rims and installing snow tires.

SW03ES Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 With snow tires you'll probably be fine, in my experiece the LS is a pig in the snow with allseasons though. Of course, thats the LS400 and LS430. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I bet Acura will let you extend your lease a couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
