99 Accent in snow
Hi
I am thinking of buying 99 accent 60K and sticksshift on it. I live at a place where snow fall will happen pretty heavily and I have never driven in snow. To make the matters interesting, the car has no power steering. Can anyone tell me if its a good or a bad idea to buy a car w/o power steering for winter. miTcha |
Re: 99 Accent in snow
we have a 1999 accent too with manual stearing, not really any difference
except u get a better feel for the road, corners etc which is a good thing. just buy '4' not 2 winter tires... http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/topic...r/wtirlise.htm nokians i think are the best tye for winter driving.... hence all the snow in finland etc... hey, im finn also =) we have blizzak ws 50's and i dont like how they make the car very twitchy.. id look into another ice tyre, nokian, yokohama etc.... but if u live somehwere where u can stud your tyres, do it.. get the winter tyres prepped for studding instead of a ice tyre.... <getaditya@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1100493370.233713.296660@f14g2000cwb.googlegr oups.com... > Hi > I am thinking of buying 99 accent 60K and sticksshift on it.

Re: 99 Accent in snow
what ever u do, when ur driving in deep slush, rutted roads, donot over
react to the stearing wheel input, u feel the road more because u dont have the numbing effect of the power stearing to dull it out. youll get used to the tugging feeling. <getaditya@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1100493370.233713.296660@f14g2000cwb.googlegr oups.com... > Hi > I am thinking of buying 99 accent 60K and sticksshift on it.

Manual transmissions and steering provide more control and a better feel in slippery conditions. Put a set of four snow tires on the Accent and you'll have the ideal winter driving setup. |

Re: 99 Accent in snow
I had a 1990 Geo Metro, that just was about 1600 lbs
and with R12 tires, it did great with snow here in Wisconsin.. My 1996 Accent does good. <getaditya@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1100874863.391185.300300@z14g2000cwz.googlegr oups.com... > Thank you all people..that was a great help! > |
