Alaska Anyone? Probably Not...

I live in Wasilla. Just signed up today (10/9/2010). Bought my 08 LS Sedan in January.

Grats! I have had my Aveo 4dr hatchback for 6 years with little upkeep and love it.
How is that working out for you up there? I own a 4 dr 2006 Aveo and wondered how they got along up there. Do you get stuck often? Is it a 4 wheel or just front wheel drive? I hope to be driving up with mine this summer/fall to Wasilla to live. Just wondering if I should trade it in for a Rav4 or something before heading up.

Well, it was front wheel drive. I traded it in for a GMC Canyon. As long as you have studs, and a flat driveway (my problem, steep driveway) you should be fine. Just make sure you have a block heater, or move to a home with a garage. Summers are great up here. Winters, my car did fine while the snow wasn't over 6 inches. After that, it got a little fun, but if you know what you are doing, you should be fine.

I'm in Wasilla. I just drove up last week from Medford Oregon. With the excetion of my five years spent on a submarine for the NAVY, I've lived between Wasilla and Kenai my entire life. I've got several off-road vehicals here in Wasilla. The
Aveo is my newest aquisition, and I have yet to see how it performs in the winter. If it's anything like my old Kia Rio, front chains and no-sway bars equals a great time =)

Ok I think I will keep it and see how it goes. I will have a garage to keep it in and its a flat short driveway. Thanks for your responses.
