Its a heavy SUV. Normally its fine, however, once the front wheels spinning tires in snow, you are done and you need a truck tow it out. AWD is awesome tho.

Civic is kinda too light for winter. One of my colleague end up crashed his civic in heavy snow 2 years ago. You need to be careful and drive slow and put some weight in trunk.
