Anyone else find that little hatchbacks with small engines absolutely own the road in the snow?

Yes a 4x4 is better at driving to the north pole obviously, but with all the hills etc and the snow we get on our roads my little old Rover got about everywhere in the snow, picked up the boss when he abandoned his Range Rover.  :grin:

No.

I don't know what you guys are facepalming. I've seen far more stranded 4x4s than other cars when it snowed, and Danny_p gets to places in his saxo with chains that offroaders don't.

Was gonna say, obviously just Danny then.

Maybe it's because simply you just don't care as much about a £100 Rover?

DannyP has big balls and skills. The average owner of the average soft roader does not!

so basically anywhere in the UK in Winter then... meh... its all balls.

Doesn't explain why I've seen lots of abandoned 4x4s and few abandoned hatchbacks.
