โ๏ธ๐ BEST WINTER VEHICLES ON VANCOUVER ISLAND?
Vancouver Island winter driving is different.
You might leave Victoria in the rainโฆ
Hit the Malahatโฆ
And suddenly youโre dealing with snow, ice, fog and freezing temperatures. ๐ง๏ธโ๏ธ
If I was shopping for a winter vehicle on VI, Iโd be looking at:
๐ Subaru Outback
๐ Subaru Forester
๐ Subaru Crosstrek
๐ Toyota RAV4
๐ Honda CR-V
๐ Mazda CX-5
๐ Nissan Rogue
๐ Nissan Pathfinder
But hereโs the BIGGEST thing:
AWD DOES NOT REPLACE WINTER TIRES.
AWD helps you get moving.
Your tires help you stop and turn.
If youโre regularly driving the Malahat, North Island, Sutton Pass, or heading into the mountains, Iโd prioritize the right tires just as much as the vehicle itself.
Soโฆ
Whatโs the BEST winter vehicle on Vancouver Island?
