In Snow?

[IndigoChild]

Hi everyone! Forgive me if I sound stupid, I dont know much about cars. I got a 2008 Altima Coupe yesterday and I was wondering how well it drives in snow? My brother said it would be fine as long as I’m not driving to fast but what do you guys think?

Welcome! Its capable, however like most cars it does have limitations. Being that the Altima Coupe is a front wheel drive vehicle is beneficial. For total confidence I would recommend snow tires as well.

Driving in snow is mostly about "how" you drive, and not necessarily what car you drive... even a 4wd truck will end up in the ditch if you drive too fast in snow. If you drive according to the road conditions, your Altima will do just fine.
The one thing that will make the most diference is a good set of winter tires. If you live in an area that gets enough snow, winter tires are worth every penny.

Thanks for the responses! I live in Maryland so sometimes we get tons of snow and sometimes we dont. I still think Im gonna go with winter tires regardless

I run all season in va and do just fine. It only misbehaves when I tell it to.
