How's this for snow?

timmerweb · 01-03-2006, 01:35 PM

We got close to 3 feet (yes FEET!) of snow while visiting the in-laws over Christmas. So next time you're grumbling about the snow, think of these pictures.

How did it drive for you w/o AWD?

vladinecko · 01-03-2006, 02:36 PM

at least you got a red car, should be easier to find under all that snow

I find it great. Its a lot different than other cars (all FWD) I've driven in the snow. The traction off the line can sometimes be pretty low, and the back-end sometimes likes to wag a bit if you're too hard on the gas on the slippery stuff, but the DTC keeps everything under control. The stopping seems great and around the corners its just a blast. A little blip of throttle at the apex of the corner will get the back-end coming around, but then some opposite lock and you're right back in control, really easy to drive, overall I feel more comfortable in the snow with this than I did with my old GTI (with snows).

I've got 16" Blizzak LM-22s on now.

Thanks for your input... I have a modded Jetta 1.8T now and run snows. Was considering the e91 325xi, but I know I will not be happy with the power. Will probably just go 330 sedan...
