It's all about learning to control the pedals, one off one on, i can drive my 180 in the snow where people are getting stuck and sail on by. Just go down a quiet road and get some practice.

All about clutch control mate, they're easy to drive in the snow, just take your time.

I wouldn't even think of taking my 206 out in the snow, with the splitter on it would just act like a snowplow and get stuck. At over a foot deep in Sheffield, I'm surprised anyone would take a 206 out in this

They are easy, still wish I could afford a set of winter alloys to put on lol if only to protect the Vortex's.

my 1.4 hdi was fine in snow, even my misses was driving wround in it.
like i told the misses you just got to take you time softly softly with the pedals and keep it going, tyres help but its the driving that makes the difference.

Turns out it was a lie about it collapsing, despite it being on the news
