Now, I am from Ottawa where we get dumped on quite a lot.

Right now wife and I are looking to buy a 2nd car and the AVEO is looking better and better. But what about snow handling? My wife will be using the car for commuting 40km a day (from one end of Ottawa to the other end, but not all highway driving).

So I wanted to find out what or how well it handles in the snow and ice.

We are looking at getting the AVEO 5 hatchback. Yellow colour.
