The car struggled mightily on any kind of incline. During one of the worst storms I was on the highway approaching a hilly section where cars were slowing to a stop. Once I was forced to stop and restart I could not get traction, spent about a full mile opposite-lock.
My advice would be this, if you need the approval of your parents to buy the car, I'm guessing you're fairly young, which I would then assume means you probably don't have a ton of winter driving experience. This is not a good winter car, and if you don't know what your doing, you can easily get in trouble.

It's not going to be as good as a land rover on dedicated snow tires, but IMO, this car on snow tires is better than most cars on all seasons in the snow and if that's the two options (is for most people I would guess), than I still believe this is the safer option in the snow.
