Hear is the short of it. I am moving to Buffalo, NY. Will my 2009 Pontiac Vibe (2.4 l engine)hack the snow? It will be used for mostly highway driving with some suburban and city driving. I read the general discussion from 2009 where it seemed to indicate Vibes do OK as long as they have snow tires. But from what I hear, Buffalo is a special place when it comes to snow. Does anyone have any experience with Vibes in areas with lake effect snow like the Buffalo - Niagara Falls area has? How do they do? Will snow tires make the car work? Or am I going to need AWD?
