pretty good. Just one moment going uphill with a bit of slush but apart from that the car has coped quite well. Needs a damn good clean though.

Just fine in the bus with my summer tyres  :cool: and my parking/drive/road is a sheet of ice, not had any problems. Even managed to pick my boss up when his Alfa wouldn't start because it was -11 and apparently if it's -10 or lower the car won't start because of battery safety   :huh:
