It's all about the tires. Quattro is great but tires make the car in heavy water and snow.

I live in Santa Cruz and the wind was heavy for a few hours! The rain was nonstop for at least 15 hours. The Q5 was a pleasure to drive through the storm! Looks like two straight days of rain begins tomorrow.

Micheline Latitude HP Tours that came with the CPO buy. I've read on this BBS and other places they're pretty mediocre in the snow.

Seems like we here in the Southeast have been spared weather wise this year. West and East Coasts have had the brunt of the weather so far. Hope everyone stays safe. The Q5 seems up to the tasks though.
