Just remember it is a 3ton vehicle and the laws of physics still apply |

the snow fuction does lack a little ooomph though, so don't expect to be able to travel at a decent speed in the snow - especially up a hill, when you need more power, the car doesn't give it to you, and i have had to take it out of snow mode before to get up a hill....i think a couple of others have found this too... |

Nick, that's the whole idea of the Snow setting, it totally damps the throttle movement so you don't give sudden changes - it is marvellous and it works as I found out last winter on 22nd Decmeber the day after Basingstoke got cut of from the rest of the world and I drove from Southampton to Stirling on summer tyres on 20" wheels and in up to 15cms of snow in places - on the snow caked M8 I was up to 55 mph - took a while to get there but the car was driving like there was no snow - made me wonder why I had bothered to buy Snow tyres for the car. I was driving north that night as Alicatt was driving south from way up in the North of Scotland - we both got through some of the worst weather I have ever seen. Right now though I am well away out of the UK in Malaysia for the next couple of months and enjoying the 32c daytime temperatures, even if the high humidity is a bit wearing!

Tim I agree, but I have a few clients in the middle of the country that live on properties on the hillsides of the mountains, and when they are covered in snow, you almost feel you are going to slide back down again - it's almost like you need a hill ascent function on the car!
