decide to buy 2015 CT 200h, some questions
Hi, I am currently driving an old civic and plan to replace it. I decide to buy a 2015 CT 200h. My local dealers ask $31,174.0 for the bare model. It is a little higher than the shared price by others in autopriceshare. However, I thought the small price difference is acceptable and I am going to purchase it. In Seattle, it snows sometimes and I am not sure about whether 200h could handle the snow situation. Do I need to prepare the snow tires or snow chains for it? Thanks in advance

I had the same concern when I bought mine. I put a set of Blizzaks on it immediately, and it was really good in the snow. I'm not a fan of the dry weather handling of those particular tires, but they made my car work well! I had to drive in the snow with the OEM tires when I had the Blizzaks put on, and it did OK with them, too. I was surprised, but your driving style has a LOT to do with how well the car does. Anyone that drives in the snow a lot knows that the smoother you drive, the better the car AND the tires work.
Enjoy the new car! It turns out that it's a pretty fun car!

Someone complained on the CT200Forum that traction control is too agressive on slippery surfaces, but there is a deactivation button on facelifted CT. Best but pricey option is to have dedicated winter tyres with another rim set. And by winter tyre I mean real ones, like Xi3, R2, WS70/80 etc.
