How will it do in the snow/bad weather?That video shows an Elio driving over a well plowed road. I am talking about trying to forge a path through 12 inches of snow. This is all conjecture on everybody lambasting me about how great the Elio will handle with skinny tires, seeing that none of you have ever actually driven it in deep snow. I do plan to get the fenders with wider wheels on the front. Wider to me equates to more stability and better grip/surface area on the pavement. Everyone will have differing views on this. To each his own.

The Elio will do well in all kinds of weather! The front engine, low center of gravity, front wheel drive and ABS will create some great traction action to help pull the Elio through the snow or other bad weather. Word of caution though, we are not a 4-wheel drive urban assault vehicle, so if there are 5' snow drifts, stay home and wait until the plows come through!
I think you should skip the Elio and get a urban assault vehicle, and perhaps you can get a job telling us Elio owners when its safe to drive to work.
