So many different opinions on this, it worries me.
We have a cabin in the the mountains with a very steep asphalt drive. It could be a short bunny run on the slopes. I don't have any idea what the grade is but I need to be able to navigate it in my CT.
I know a honda civic can make it. (non hybrid) Here are the specs for the year civic that regularly makes it up the hill. I know the horsepower is close but I don't see any CT info on torque.
Given the civic makes it with no problems, I assume I'll be ok ( not great, I expect it to be loud). Getting to the cabin is no problem as the incline is gradual. but I'd like some opinions. I'd hate to arrive and be stuck at the bottom. (ice is not an issue, we use the cabin as a summer getaway)
