Thinking of getting one, the wife wants to know how it handles in the snow.

Anyone got one? Get stuck much?

Surely it doesn't snow often enough to make that a serious consideration.

Anyway, it depends on how you drive in snow as much as anything else.

I have a Astra Combi van. It's crap in the snow. Do I get stuck much? No.

totally agree with tom - unless you have snow 20% of the year it simply shouldnt even register

if its a good deal - and you are really that comcerned - put £500 into some snow tyres - or keep some concrete paviours handy for the boot

Sounds very sensible to consider a vehicle's snow prowess to me.

If there's 2 very similar cars that you're considering and one is shit in the snow but one isn't surely the good one would be preferrable?

Maybe Mrs Tank's been stuck before in which case it would be a very important consideration for her.

Agree with Guy though. If it's that much of a concern just get some winter tyres.

Exact opposite. Higher than normal gear, + low revs = less torque but more traction.

Tank lives in Scotland - surely it snows from September to May.

Lots of sensible logic that - has me thinking y'all might have missed this part of the OP.

the wife wants to know

Cheers anyway
