335 out in the snow today

John 070 · 01-21-2011, 03:35 AM

After 50 mos. on the road, I guess I still baby my car and rarely use it in bad weather. Hasn't stalled since 4/10, got the 7/100 gold, odometer is around 25k, and have managed to avoid driving during each of the snow storms we've had by taking the other car. Not today, about to take a perfectly clean car out of the garage, and hit the elements...such is life.

Don't worry, once we get that new Grand Cherokee with the Quadra Drive (maybe next year if a 8-spd auto comes out with the V6) the 335 will never see the winter roads again....

The new Grand Cherokee is really a looker! Have you also checked out the new Explorer?

335 in the snow = endless amounts of driving pleasure. Originally I bought the rwd for the summer, but now the winter is proving to be just as enjoyable!

I had a similar problem until I got my winter Pirelli Sottozeros. After that, No Problem!

I know, nothing wrong with driving a 3 series in the snow....I just hate that it was perfectly clean except for a film of dust from sitting in the garage, and I head out into salt and slush covered roads.....now it's covered in salt, the back is all salty and grimy, and we're headed down to the teens at night, and 8F on Sunday night. Not sure when it can get washed next.

I haven't seen any of the two SUV's in person, but I like what I read about the Jeep, and I want an excuse to go American. The V6 is supposed to be nice, except that it's mated to an old 5-spd auto. When the 8-spd comes out, it's time to buy! Then Nissan will be 14, even a tight-wad like me will open up the checkbook for a new car LOL
