Fantastic! I drove mine through upwards of a foot of unplowed snow and had an absolute blast doing it; although, I did have studded snow tires on at the time. I never once got stuck - NEVER. The only problem I encountered was I needed to replace the front bumper because I smashed it up driving through too much hard snow (such as what the plows pushed off to the side of the road). There were times I was driving through snow so deep it was building up and pushing over the grill onto the hood. I just reversed and then went around it until I had to do it again.

I was the only one on my street able to drive through it for several days during the double whammy the Washington, D.C. area got a couple years ago.






When it works, it's great!
