I did better than two Ford explorers in deep snow! I had to rescue one and pull him out and the other I helped dig him out so he could get his chains on.
Would make a good Ad for Soob!
I drove one of these things to deliver pizza back in the early 80's, was MT, don't remember if 4-speed or 5. It did well in several inches of snow but it definitely took some concentration while shifting.
I really like my AT so far (since day before yesterday!). I tried it out on gravel roads at a wildlife refuge, but very dry so not even any mud puddles there. Still, I could tell the tires held the road in quick turns. Best of all, it was a smooth ride. My old PU truck usually bounced and reverberated.
Of course, now the reverberations are audible ones. Brings back memories, been a long time since I had a hatchback type of car. I know what reviewers were saying now about the excessive noise, but even a Ford Fairlane wagon and Chevy Spectrum hatchback I had was like that. My Ford F150 with canopy and Sonoma extended cab were not.
This Subaru Impreza Outback Sport might be the best vehicle I've ever owned. In fact, my first cars were the old family station wagon (a '70 Chevy Kingswood), a '74 Vega (also bought from Dad), and '69 Toyota Corona. Each had their good points though.
