I would think a wagon would be better in the snow because of the extra weight in the back. I am running new all season Firestone's, cheap ones 380's I think; I have a good set of summer wheels and tires. I live on a pretty good size hill and last night I went up through 2-3 of fresh snow. I hit the bottom at 15-20mph and she pulled up the hill, the rear started to slip but I lifted a little and went up. Anything more would be pushing it. I would at least get 4 real snow tires such as Blizzaks. My previous car was a Camry and that thing was like a truck in the snow, I drove through 6-8 of unplowed without any problems with that car. The SDL is a little different, if I loaded the trunk down and ran good snow tires it would probably be better.

The ABS works very well though.
