Been driving on these R3 SUVs for over 10 years. They handle snow and icy roads well, are quiet, and provide a comfortable ride.They can be unpredictable in slushy conditions, even at low speeds. The price is higH but considering the performance in winter conditions, theyre worth it. 

Just be cautious when driving through slush or on icy corners.

Super comfortable ride, quiet, and handles packed snow beautifully. 

However noticed they can unexpectedly slip on slushy ice even at low speeds, especially with a heavy vehicle. 

ItIS a bit unnerving but manageable with cautious driving.
