XDS...... Am I Imagening things

[ErikGTI]

Is this XDS quite helpfull in the dutch snow or am I imagening things....
My MK6 seems a much better performer when it comes to icy surfaces than the MK5 although my steeringwheel betrays the icy surfaces by steering a lot easier than the MK5, the course of the MK6 seems much more straight....

Any followers on this subject....

I'd say it was exactly what the XDS was supposed to do.
...and yes, I've noticed some seriously impressive behaviour that I'd put down to the XDS/TC electronics.

 .....I thought it was wishfull thinking, but my selfconfidence in icy weather with my car is now at a much higher level....
Last year with the MKV was quite dreadfull to be honest.... :embarassed:

I'm amazed at how much throttle the car will take, whilst the steering wheel sits perfectly straight ahead, and the TC light flashes...just smooth driving. Very impressive.

I will tell you HOW impressive...a couple of days ago I was chasing at an incredible fast speed a mini works 250 HP...I was a bit angry that my traction-light went on flashing a couple of times while nearly pushing the mini away...then I suddelnly noticed that it was minus 3 on the temp meter....... :embarassed:

Ain't been using my GTD since the snow so I think I'll take it for a spin to find out.

Disco's been great heated steering wheel, seats and fuel burning pre-heater is nice this time of year :-)

Be very carefull, I had that same feeling earlier this week and almost took out my car and 3 other parked cars, my attitude soon changed.

Ive done a bit of snow driving for work and tbh it hasnt been that bad, got stuck a few times now but we have had the snow so bad I think any car would have, its been really tricky driving. Would love to drive a MK6 with this XDS to compare (offers? )
