Remember these are Swedish cars. Sweden is a country that gets snow. My old 83 245 went through 2 Ottawa, Canada winters with all season radials. I never got stuck and always felt in control and no car warms up more quickly once you start driving. If I were to do it again I would have opted for snows of course. My brother had a 142 and never got stuck in several Ottawa winters. I have an 87 745 with snows and feel very confident with it. Of course a frontwheel drive vehicle with snow tires will pull you through deeper snow than the same car with RWD. The 740 wagon has excellent balance and weight distribution and warms up quickly.
