Title: Honda FR-V Post by: thetank on February 28, 2011, 12:57:49 PM Thinking of getting one, the wife wants to know how it handles in the snow.
Anyone got one? Get stuck much? Title: Re: Honda FR-V Post by: RED-DOG on February 28, 2011, 04:10:56 PM Thinking of getting one, the wife wants to know how it handles in the snow. Anyone got one? Get stuck much? Surely it doesn't snow often enough to make that a serious consideration. Anyway, it depends on how you drive in snow as much as anything else. I have a Astra Combi van. It's crap in the snow. Do I get stuck much? No. Title: Re: Honda FR-V Post by: outragous76 on February 28, 2011, 04:13:21 PM totally agree with tom - unless you have snow 20% of the year it simply shouldnt even register
if its a good deal - and you are really that comcerned - put £500 into some snow tyres - or keep some concrete paviours handy for the boot Title: Re: Honda FR-V Post by: EvilPie on February 28, 2011, 06:07:40 PM Sounds very sensible to consider a vehicle's snow prowess to me.
If there's 2 very similar cars that you're considering and one is shit in the snow but one isn't surely the good one would be preferrable? Maybe Mrs Tank's been stuck before in which case it would be a very important consideration for her. Agree with Guy though. If it's that much of a concern just get some winter tyres.

Do I get stuck much? No. nice low gear and high rev's?

Do I get stuck much? No. nice low gear and high rev's? Exact opposite. Higher than normal gear, + low revs = less torque but more traction.

Title: Re: Honda FR-V Post by: thetank on February 28, 2011, 11:34:17 PM Lots of sensible logic that - has me thinking y'all might have missed this part of the OP.
the wife wants to know Cheers anyway :)up |
