Just had our first big snowfall (about 5 inches) up here in Calgary, Alberta.
Fit performed well in the snow and ice. Antilock brakes were a little different feel from our old Civic, they seemed to work better, but the noise was different.
With the all weather tires on the 15 inch rims, the car stuck to the road fairly well. Since it is a light car, it felt like it was sitting on top of the snow more then sinking in.
I would say it performed at least the same or better then the old Civic.
Heat was warm in less than a minutes and HOT after about 10 minutes. Not much window fogging and what did appear was easy dispersed with the defrosters. The ambiant temperature was about -12C.
Cold weather seems to make the plastic of the interior squeek more, so there is some rubbing sound coming out of the dash where it meets the driverside panel by the small window in the front. As well, the door panels make a lot of noise where the handle portion meets up with the rest of the door panel.
