Well, FINALLY, we had some decent snow!
Thought this might be a good place to share our observations about Winter in our AVs!
First off, we had about 3 inches of snow, with some ice on the roads as well. My AV did GREAT in all situations - up hills that had skid marks where others had slid off the road, or slid back down, etc... no sliding at all... were it not for the WHITE everywhere, I would not have noticed that it was Winter. (I was in "Auto 4x4" BTW!) So, I am VERY happy with the AVs Winter Performance!
Secondly, the "cladding-style" steps that are so great at any other time were a burden. They collected all of the nasty dirty road crap that the front tires could throw at them... so ya have to be careful not to get your pants dirty when getting in and out!
Finally, the cladding is remarkably easy to clean... a quick trip around the AV at the DIY carwash, and all of the dirty snow and ice came right off!
Any other experiences or observations?
Thanks!
