November 11th, 2010 · No Comments

As snow spans over Canada and the temperature plunges way below zero, there is a good reason for choosing a car that is tailored for winter driving – safety.

AskMen.com has come up with a list of top 10 cars for winter drive. Take a brief look and you will learn that some of the previously rare models now become the king of the roads.

Some important features for a winter car? See below –

1. All Wheel Drive: Clearly the essential part of a winter vehicle. Without it, a car can hardly move forward. Many off-road vehicles, as well as Audi and Volvo models, are well equipped with all wheel drivce. Thus they become the most popular cars in the harsh weather.

2. Tranction Control System (TCS): as a a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system, even though TCS increases braking distance on loose surfaces such as snow, it boosts up vehicle control.
