So, those with an automatic L, LE or SE; ( I have a '13 LE automatic, but considering a '15 SE automatic...yea I know...get the 5 speed, but I have a bad left knee now). Let me know what model you have, brand of tires and how they do in winter driving in whatever situation you were driving in (light snow, deep snow, icy mix and/or slush).

I have very good all season tires and am really experienced in the bad weather driving department. But I am a bit concerned about the light weight of the car and the fact that it is lower to the ground than my '05 Scion xB (an excellent snow car by the way in auto trans form).

So who has something to say bout this?

Just Curious. Re an automatic...Why a 5-door SE rather than a 5-door LE ? (But then I've always been frustrated that the SEs my local dealers have procured have always been automatics ).
