Not many problems, just get a good set of snow tires on the car and drive carefully and you'll be fine.

It is a light car so will have a tendancy to float more than something heavier in deep snow but it's really not that bad.

Make sure you know the cars history before buying and avoid cars that have been crashed as they are never quite the same after.

Thanks for the Quick reply, I been doing some research and some people were talking about the wiper or the rear defroster not working very well...?

And I do know the History about the car thanks

I've had no problems with my wipers or my rear window defrost. New wiper refills from honda for our car cost less than 1 new wiper blade at a local auto parts shop.

Only thing I wish we had was heater mirrors... i think the 09 might have them tho.
