We've had 3 months of snow here in rural Ontario this year. I have 4 snows on my 87 745 and love the stabilty and predictability. I imagine it will not pull through deep snow like a front wheel drive but I have no complaints. Our old 240 wagon went through 3 Ottawa winters with no snow tires and never got stuck and never left me feeling out of control. I drive slowly and safely all the time though and usually have the car loaded with kids so weight distribution is probably better than driver only in a sedan. Also, the b21, b230 powered Volvos I have driven warm up in cold weather faster than any car by far and the defrost and defog work great.

My 2 cents,
