I live in California. Thus, I don't really drive in the snow. And I've never really driven in the snow in RWD. But it seems that you did well in fairly deep snow! Now I know why the cars have those little headlight washers! I never used them on my car! As I washed my car almost every week and in California, the weather I drive in doesn't get the car dirty enough! This is a very nice car. CLS? Handsome machine.
