Tom,

Q I just bought a small SUV; it’s a KIA Sorento. I have a small house with

a small driveway that needs to be plowed during the winter months. I have
been shopping for one of those personal snowplows for my SUV. This would
work perfectly on my driveway. What make personal snowplow do you
recommend I buy?

Tammy,

A I recommend you not buy a snowplow Tammy. This vehicle is not

equipped for snowplow use. You will find that out the first time you plow
hard into an ice and snow bank. The air bags will probably blow, and if they
don’t, over time you will do damage to the frame, suspension, drivetrain, and
body. Not to mention the possibility of voiding your new car warranty. Forget
the plow and call a plowing service Tammy. You’ll be glad you did.
