I took the Kona out in the heavy snow last night, both because I had to pick up something I forgot to get during the day, and because I wanted to try it out in the weather. I'm very impressed. My biggest concern with winter driving was that this car has even more power than my Chevy Volt, and my Volt was terrible in the snow. The Volt would always break loose with anything more than gentle pedal application. The Kona on the other hand was very stable in the snow and seemed to have excellent traction control. Of course, if I got heavy on the pedal on purpose it would definitely spin out but even then it still didn't feel out if control.
Over all, I was pushing it on purpose to see what it would do and how it felt, and it felt very confident in crappy weather.
