The Aveo is blessed when it comes to snow. I've drove all different vehicles in the snow out here in Prince Edward Island: Chevrolet Astro Van, Chevrolet Astro Van Mark III, Pontiac Sunfire, 2007 Hyundai Elantra, 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, Kia Magentis, Honda Civic.. A few Honda Civics actually.

The Aveo cuts through the snow no problem, doesn't slip or side too often. It has a nice aggressive and defensive take on the roads, all at the same time. I was coming from the up west area back out to my house in Cavendish last night, snow packed roads with a nice layer of ice under neath, no plows or sand doing around 130KM/H took all the curves in the road and what not fine, didn't slip or slide once and my back tires are quite bald. Mind you I'm on all seasons, and go ahead and say "STUPID!" But I have a feel for what's safe at the moment and what's not, it was pretty much all highway 2-Lane though, wasn't double lane. As for city driving, I never have any problems. I drive 5-Speed by the way, the one thing I do notice is if it's windy out and the wind can hit you - Which out here it can - The Aveo needs a good set of tires all around, cause the back end tends to sway in slush.

So this may or may not have helped, but by far this is my favorite car any seasons and I only came close to sliding out of control once, and I was on tires right down to the treads.
