In the recent storms in chicago I had the luck to be driving in them on unplowed roads with my 03' My milage was about 27mpg.

What seems to work for me is just keep it in drive. S is sport mode which seems to give a bunch of torque. Maybe use L. I just keep it in drive all the time. I would recomend taking the car to some place safe and playing around with it by acclerating on snow, stopping on snow and turning. Its realy best to get to know how the car is going to react.

I find if I accelerate the car pulls to the right ALOT so I kind of pulse. I'll put my foot on the gass for a couple seconds then take my foot off until the car regains traction and straightens out and then I repeat.

The stock dunlop tires in the HCH are pathetic in all areas. Either get used to how they are going to lose traction or invest in some good tires.
