It is front wheel drive so make sure you put the chains, if they are required, on the correct set of wheels. Front wheel drive is great in snow and you can go places rear wheel drive can't. You will get a false sense of security until you try to stop. Stopping distances don't change.
I once climbed a hill by my house that had 1 1/2 feet of new snow in my Civic w/FWD no chains no problem. There was a fellow half way up on the steep part who could not make it with RWD. I told him to turn around and back up and he went to the top with no problem. Then when I reached the top I got stuck off the road so I tried to back up. Wrong move, I put it in 1st and pulled right out.
