After getting dumped with 5" of snow in a matter of a few hours on Monday morning, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Element performs in the snow. The 4WD kicked in at just the right times and antilock brakes worked great. Even though I'm tired of Winter here in Michigan, I was happy to get one last snow to try out the Element's handling.

Kinda weird though, to have daylight savings when there's 6" snow outside and all the trees are iced over...;-)

i whole heartedly agree !!!

this past weekend we had a freezin' rain storm blow though. i had to drive a 370 km round trip in the bugger and this puppy performed like a PRO !!!

i do not care much for the harsh abs but the awd worked like a charm !!! when i accelerated from stop i swear i could feel the wheels testing their grip and diggin in ...
