I have seen various threads of how the Y will do in the snow.
Today I got my first experience with it.
AWD, 19" Gemini wheels.
Stock tires, Continental ProContact RX (I believe) rated 400 A A
Overall, it was fine.
The roads were mostly slushy with back roads having more chance to pile up.
The car felt solid and handled very nicely.
After I accelerated and then backed off the accelerator to let the regen kick in, a very brief, very slight shimmy in the rear.
TACC and AutoSteer appeared to work fine, although I didn't leave it in Autosteer for much of the trip.
Mostly because this is the first snow of the season, I don't trust other drivers.
Usually we hear of plenty of accidents for the first storm or two until people finally realize to slow down.
What I did notice was pulling into the garage was all of the proximity sensors were not functioning.
Took 2 pictures to show the build up.
