In forty years of driving we have never driven a car that is as bad in the snow as our 2006 Yaris Hatchback. We went out and bought snow tires today, hopefully that will help. But the dealership told us not to use rims larger than 14 inches for the 2006 hatchback. That sucks.
The car is too light, and too close to the ground, to be a wise choice for the country roads in Ontario, at least this year...
cordially, as always,
