I did something like this to my neighbor when I had my 03' Impreza. Not as much snow, maybe six inches fell at most though that's a good shot for Pennsylvania. She had a then new Sonata, hopelessly plowed in as was I. Boyfriend's there with his Corolla, digging the car out, rocking it back and forth, getting nowhere. I come out of the house with my coffee, hop in, fire the Scooby up and let it warm, a bit of NPR playing. Roll the clutch in first a bit, roll it back a bit, then take off in first again. Right up and over the packed snow and I'm free. As for the neighbor, she glared daggers at me as I drove past...
Barely had to rev it to get it to go. And I can't believe he did it with crappy highway tires. My mom is on her second Forester, I'm on my 4th Legacy wagon, and every winter I put on over-sized Firestone Winterforce Tires. Sticks to the icy/snow covered roads like glue. Can EASILY run on non-plowed backroads 50 mph, 3500-4000 rpm, in 8-10" of fresh snow. Handles like a dream.
If you're running the right oil(something light so it flows well in the cold) you can rev it up with no issues as long as you idle for a few seconds to get the fluids moving.
bmwmsport11 To an extent yes with like a 0w40 Pure Syn.. Nothing runs optimally that quickly though and Temperature aside you dont wanna do that even if its warm out, the seals aren't warm, the oil pump is just building flow, etc, its not just about the oil
+Dras Leona how could it possibly be "breathing snow"? the only concern would be overheating due to lack of airflow through the radiator because of the snow. That would take quite a while though.
www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a19086/warming-up-your-car-in-the-cold-just-harms-engine/ idiots on youtube think they're car experts. unfortunately, you're just a fucking dumbass
JZkicksA u are correct, but what about this u send me?: "The best thing to do is start the car, take a minute to knock the ice off your windows, and get going. Of course, hopping into your car and gunning it straightaway will put unnecessary strain on your engine. It takes 5 to 15 minutes for your engine to warm up, so take it nice and easy for the first part of your drive."
Well next winter come on out. I still own that same piece of crap, it's been a pretty good used car and yes there is NO doubt it would handle what this guy made a big deal out of. Which is worse ? idiot with a camera posting trivia about a Subaru, or an idiot at a computer doing the same ?
@@frafraplanner9277 you can drive an automatic forward & back a little a few times just like a manual. The idea is that it packs snow making little ramps at each tire to help you get moving & to climb up on top of the snow.
yup just bought a subary legacy a week ago :) cant wait for some more snow to really test it out but pretty sure it will have no problems with a foot or two of snow
Haha, I can't tell you how many times I've done this! Being a college student, I don't exactly own a snow shovel. Whenever the campus gets plowed (inevitably leaving large piles of snow in front of my car) I simply substitute the snow shovel with my Subaru. Works like a charm!
Had a 2015 outback,snowed over afoot in Chicago,I was in Palos Hills,over a foot!330 am,on roberts road no one on the street,go into work,45 miles an hour,just all season tires,that outback ,with no plowing stuck to the road like a glove,there was no one on the road,that’s why I let her rip!I own a 2220 outback now,I am 75 years old,if you would of told this old greaser,that I would be driving a 4 cylinder,Japanese car when I was 75!I would of had you committed!
My wife always says, "It's 20% car and 80% driver." There are people who could have extracted that Subaru without using a shovel but who would have taken closer to an hour to do so vs. that driver doing it in less than two minutes. The most capable vehicles I have ever driven in snow were rear-wheel-drive cars with "reinforced" tire chains. Back in the day, I carried a pair of those already mounted on a pair of spare tires already mounted on a pair of spare wheels. I didn't have to try to put the chains on the tires while the tires were on the ground. I just jacked up one rear wheel at a time and installed the tires with the chains already on them. Next best vehicles I ever drove in the snow: a 90s Subaru rental car and our 2010 Patriot with Freedom Drive I. I don't know which would have done better in a side-by-side comparison (the Subaru was better in the snow and on ice than our '89 Isuzu Trooper) but the Patriot allows the driver to select a mode such that the front and rear drive shafts turn at the same speed. There aren't many situations where that is helpful but we live in Maine at 45 degrees north and there ARE times when the Patriot does better in that mode instead of the default AWD mode. I suspect there are still some people who aren't aware of the new "Severe Weather Rated" designation (the icon is a snowflake in a stylized "mountain") for tires with rubber compounding and tread specifically for snow and ice. We got our first set about 1-1/2 years ago (without studs). I expected them to be worn out ere this but they will last at least until next fall. Huge improvement in traction, even compared to BFG All-Terrains. Stay safe!
Roger Metzger Learning to control both oversteer and understeer with your personal car is something I needed to learn myself for the winter season. It has saved me a handful of times already.
Adam, In my not-so-humble opinion, AWD is better for driving on snow or ice than 4WD. I worry, however, that people who learn to drive AWD cars (without driving rear-wheel-drive cars in the snow first) will later need to drive a rear-wheel-drive or 4WD truck in the snow and not know how to handle it. The way we taught our children to drive was in a 4WD Isuzu Trooper. I took each of them seperately to a large parking lot when there was a lot of snow, put the Trooper in 2WD and told them that they could try driving in the snow in 4WD only AFTER they had learned to a) initiate a skid in 2WD in the snow and b) correct a skid under power in 2WD in the snow, i.e. learn how to maintain a skid in 2WD in the snow. They had already learned the basics of steering and using the clutch on primitive roads out in the desert far from other traffic so when I let them drive in 2WD in the snow, it took each of them less than 20 minutes to figure out how to initiate a skid and control a skid in the snow. I think you probably understand all of the above but I've written it out here in the hope that it might help other people learn to "drive" instead of just operating a vehicle like an appliance.
Roger Metzger I would agree with learning in 2WD. Not only will it improve your ability to make the right corrections while sliding, but you'll have a bit more confidence. We have a ranger in our family, sometime I should get a feel for it in the snow and ice. Props to you for teaching them how to handle 2WD, I've never driven a rear wheel drive only, just AWD or FWD.
+MrFunk Yep. Dig that tailpipe out with your hands if you have to and give the thing a couple of minutes. I don't usually dig my Jeep out the first day of snow either, but I let if run while I get ice off the windows.
My first car was an impreza. I delivered pizzas during snow storms in new england I made it up and down unplowed driveways like a boss Thats the story of my Subaru.
And although they aren't NEEDED, it's the difference between having to warm your car up for 5 minutes every morning while you sit in the freezing cold car waiting for the heat to start working, and being able to walk out to your car, start it, and drive off 15 seconds later like it's summer.
I had a 98 Outback and that thing was a tank in the snow. I also had a Dodge Magnum AWD that thing was really good in the snow...with a good set of studded snow tires.
When I get my impreza I'm gonna do a video like that called "How to get your car out of the snow with a shovel" it's gonna be me walking to the car, throwing the shovel away, and getting it out like that. xD
This is why i drive subaru (live in sweden = lots of snow).. Got snowed in with my 08 impreza knee deep after a ski trip.. Next to a Golf and an Audi A3.. I got away smooth in 15 seconds.. In lended a showel to the other guys.. There was no way they would move an inch.. completely stuck! :0)
That worked out quite nicely.When the vid started, I thought it might have been a BIT more of a struggle, but never doubted it was going to come loose. Love the Subies though.
I did something similar in my 2002 WRX in the snow this year with old worn all season tires. When you have a Subaru there is no shovel or cat litter required just give it enough gas and the AWD will take care of the rest.
I say it everytime it rains, or I got into sandy roads, or everytime I drive at high speeds with everything under control. Dont say it whe at the gas station ;-)
love me some Subies. Used to pull trucks out of ditches with mine. In my experience this will burn a patch of slickness- better to rock it some than to just keep spinning.
While living in AK, there were a couple days where my wife's 2005 Honda CR-V with Blizzaks couldn't make it up the driveway. My 1997 Legacy L with 80K mile touring tires went right up it. Out new 2013 Outback is even better...it has a lot more ground clearance than the old Legacy.
I love how he ever so casually get in through the back, lol. Very impressive, I guess my next car will be a Subaru... Should be quite helpful for the Swiss winters:) Again, very nice video
also due to the snow there really isnt that much preassure. that and the driver seem to know how to use the car. im wondering if its manual since i havent seen such gentle snow driving in an automatic before
My 2001 Impala has a block heater, my mom's 2008 hyundai tucson, my dad's 2007 4.7 Ram, and basically every Ford at the dealership I work at has one too.
you never could get out from a snow covering your car that way unless you have a Subaru. the best AWD on it's class. warm-up your car first then enjoy it
it's AWD not 4x4 huge difference. and the engine was ALL subaru porsche/vw had nothing to do with. Porsche came up with the concept for a flat engine a long time ago but had nothing to do with the development of any of subaru's engines. though i agree subbies rock.
Fuel injected engines run just fine wen cold and incur very little extra wear when cold. It only sounds like its revving to 3k or 4k, what is the red line on these? Its not good for the motor but I wouldn't say its "so bad"
I'm saying that as long as he is using proper oil for the season then it should circulate just fine when cold. That is the main reason for using dual viscosity oil as I understand it. If there is another reason please let me know. I'm always open to learning new things. I have pored oil in below freezing temps before. I had to pour 90wt in the cold once it took eons.
@janl39 why do you say so? Do you even understand what makes an engine stress? Yea sure it wasn't even warmed up, but car's are built to a certain quality to withstand that, even tho its still a good idea to do so. Even then i doubt they run the car like that all the time. Plus the didn't even rev it out that much. Do you even drive?
@FealSmart ya i used to drive an 88 wagon and it had awd and it had a button where you could turn the 4wd on or off. my parents 93 subaru didnt have awd. i first hand know that you can start off on a hill completely covered in ice and easily go up the hill

You only need one tool to get out of snow, that tool is a Subaru.

why do people who listen to npr have to make it a point to let others know that they were listening to npr?

The car three and a half seconds later: Wanna say that again?
You really need to let the engine warm up before pushing it hard like that -_-
No you don't. Start it up, let it run for about 30 seconds and smack to gas pedel 2 or 3 times and the suby takes right off. don't even bother it.

No, wait.
That IS comparing a human being to a car.
Steven Bryson It is correct. Engine need to be properly warmed up before rve it out of the snow.
no you don't anymore. They used to recommend warming up the engine in the 80s and early 90s, but early 2000s are better to just turn on and go.
This is why Subarus kick ass. No matter how terrible you are at driving you it's quite difficult to stuck.
I have had the same experience with two different Subaru Legacies. Subaru vehicles in general with the right tires are awesome in the snow!
Wow, remind me not to buy a used silver subaru. Doesn't even let the engine warm up... smoke just billowing out the tail pipe. Poor car.

This swayed me into buying a Subaru in the near future
I have never seen a subaru get even that stuck in snow....They are beasts when it comes to snow. That had to be one heck of a packed snow....
When it comes to snow Subies are always in beast mode! And with good snow tires they are nearly unstoppable except for in deep, heavy wet snow.
As a resident of your neighboring state, MN, i can appreciate the humor in this video :)

great video.just proves how strong and reliable Subarus are.and HERE IN THE USA,WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO,TO GET THE JOB DONE!!!
Did that with a 1988 Subaru Leone Station some years ago... No big deal with 4wd and winter tires

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :) Oh I hate this video guy. LOL
Ah, the joy of owning a Subaru. The only time mine gets stuck is when the snow packs up under the frame and lifts the wheels off the ground.
I love how he ever so casually get in through the back, lol. Very impressive, I guess my next car will be a Subaru... Should be quite helpful for the Swiss winters:)

And THIS is why I'm never letting go of my Legacy...
outback in snow is cake
@janl39 why do you say so? Do you even understand what makes an engine stress? Yea sure it wasn't even warmed up, but car's are built to a certain quality to withstand that, even tho its still a good idea to do so. Even then i doubt they run the car like that all the time. Plus the didn't even rev it out that much. Do you even drive?
@FealSmart ya i used to drive an 88 wagon and it had awd and it had a button where you could turn the 4wd on or off. my parents 93 subaru didnt have awd. i first hand know that you can start off on a hill completely covered in ice and easily go up the hill
did the engine feel weaker due to the exhaust being buried in the snow?
I have a car just like this I drive only winter time so I can keep my sti pretty. They are _amazing_ in the snow! Im 100% going to buy another one.
Lol I'm sharing this to everyone I know in Wisconsin
Righteous! I have the very same Subaru and like a previous commenter said: it's a bull-dozer. A little four-cylinder bulldozer.
