Winter driving with RWD Ex 35...

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I purchased a RWD 2008 Ex35
Living in canada and close to winter i'm starting to worry :facepalm:

The worst part is that i live in Montreal, not only do we have harsh winters but
we also have the s*** roads in north america... :ohno:

Thanks for your responses!
Cheers

Install a good set of snow tires and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well the 2wd does in the snow, I know I was.

Did you purchase the car in the US? It's my understanding that all EX35's sold in Canada are AWD!

I'll take the opportunity to answer my own question.
Winter 2010 in Quebec was pretty rough and living in Montreal imposes tough and steep roads.
The Ex performed amazingly!
I had no problems (exept for the first time I had to double park (Oh boy!)
With good winter tires you will do absolutelly great!
Thanks jmess ! :dblthumb:
