My last car was a 2005 Chevy Malibu 3.5L V6. Curb Weight: 3174 (Consumerguide.com), F/R%: 59/41. Tire: Performance-All-Season Yokohama Avid H4S
My current ride is a 2008 Kia Optima 2.4L 4. Curb Weight: 3142, F/R%:
61/39. Tire: Grand-Touring-All-Season Kumho Solus KH16The Malibu(32lbs heavier) cut through up to 4 inches of unplowed snow like it wasn't there. The Optima folded up like an umbrella with only 1 inch unplowed on the streets. Spinning in low-low gear, tracking sideways, holding up traffic, you name it!
Opinions?
