Well it has to be said, the Rio is not that great in the snow.
Too much torque in 1st or 2nd to pull away so I have had to use 3rd gear then change back to second once moving.
The moment I touch the brakes the back wheels lock up and ABS kicks in.
Not very forgiving, which is a shame.
I am sure the tyres are no help at all in this weather (should find out next year with a better set of tyres).
Still think the Rio is a great car overall though.
So what do other peoples Rio's handle in this weather ?
