Had a bit of snow up north yesterday. Wife took out her 2005 1.6 Civic and its handling was appalling apparently. I've noticed myself that grip seems poor in the wet.
Wife asked if she'd be better going out in my 850R in bad weather - they're built for snow aren't they?
My answer was I can't imagine how a huge beast like the R can be better handling, and stop in shorter distances, in the snow than a little Civic that weighs hardly anything. So I told her to stick with the Civic and drive more carefully!
But wonder whether that's the right advice. Any thoughts? Anyone else noticed Civics not being good in poor conditions?
