Holy damn. It's spelled INFINITI! not INFINITY. Every time you drive your car it stares you in the face seems like you'd know how to spell it.

With that little rant out of the way we need some more details. What is the model? Some Infiniti's do great in the snow and some don't.

Oh. And welcome! :-)

It's a sedan that's FWD. Unless you have to over snow banks, it'll do just fine.

Welcome, BTW!

What part of the country are you in? How much snow do you get and how long is your commute to school?

I have another FWD nissan car, its a maxima though. I personally do fine in the snow/ice. Just be VERY GENTLE on the gas and you should be fine. One thing I hate to say but if you are on a hill and coming upon a 4-way and there are no cars coming, dont stop (if you do, you are screwed)

FWD = Front Wheel Drive. I think you'll be fine in Mass as long as you take it easy. Consider some snow tires if you can afford it.

This kid must be related to Nala.

Gets a G20 to drive to highschool and has the audacity to complain about it!

I got a kick in the arse and a bus ride to school!

nah...she's young.

the G20 is a fine little car....I don't think they're ugly at all to be honest.

it'll do alright in snow and ice BUT tires are key to good winter weather handling.

if it's in need of tires and you can't afford two sets, look for some that get the best reviews for snow and ice.

Even though the cars are all the same body, each one is slightly different based on the life it has gone through.

We really just like seeing cars ...

Oh god, you shouldn't have pointed that out...

Now I have to demand pictures, and I'm not talking about the car this time!

but seriously, welcome to NICO, you'll find some good info on that little car here. Honestly, I'd love to have a G20 to use as a daily driver. Assuming the interior was still in good shape anyway...

Ignore PMQ...he's well..I'm pretty sure he can't breathe with his mouth closed.
