    I'm thinking of a 4WD compact SUV and would appreciate owner comments
    on the CR-V. I'm interested in real world performance during winters.
    My area . . . . snow swept prairies, with dense deep drifting along
    rural routes and very cold temperatures. How does this unit handle
    hard, deep drifts (as opposed to say an even snow cover). How about
    handling in winter? I'll use the example of a heavy 1/2-ton 4WD being
    more than adequate to push it's weight through these problems, but a
    2WD 1/2 ton bogging down w/o the 4WD traction ie. the weight alone
    won't do it. Not sure of the weight/power of these units and how they
    would handle the same, but if lighter weight does the 4WD compensate
    enough to give it the power to push along in the outback? Thanks for
    any and all.

    ====================

    Hondasuv.com is a good place to check out the testimonials. They're
    fantastic in deep snow and at icy intersections. The factory tires
    aren't great because of noise and poor snow performance.

    With true winter tires, it might be hard to get a CRV stuck.

    You didn't mention which year / model you want to get.
