Whats the mk3 like in winter?

[Snoopy]

I found the mk1 and mk2 to be good in winter/snow month when used with correct type tyres. The narrow size and cars size/weight prob helps.

Hows the mk3 in winter?

managed in the snow no probs earlier this year, lot of it's down to the drivers though

did winter in my dropped on its ass gti along with the porker rims and stretched rubber 

it handled it very well, and doubled up as a handy snow plow



this pic was from the last batch of snow and a 20 mile drive home, was a bit scary on my street as its steep as fook and very narrow with nobheads parked on the street!

Had one mahoosive tank slapper in the snow last year when I plain and simple got caught out by the conditions, that actually properly frightened me. Also had a stupid 5mph straight on job on some sheet ice but otherwise can't say there have been any real big issues.

S.M.

same as above broke my splitter at 5mph sliding into the curb last winter but other than that its really good!!

On the correct tyres, perfect.
I've used 195/50/15s & 195/45/16 and never got stuck.

Same as any other car, if driven properly 

I was running 17's during winter with no probs. If you don't act like a ricer, you won't skid anywhere.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but how did you go about sorting that out? I had similar issues last winter.

Anyone have any tips on how to stop the door rubbers sticking too?

I was starting work at 7am so leaving at 6.30, and at that time it was pretty cold and frozen up. I just boiled the kettle before leaving and poured a bit over the handles
