Snow and Ice
« on: 04 December 2008, 14:50 »
I'm impressed with the GTI on snow.
For a fat tyred car with no LSD the electronics make it very easy to drive.
The DSG works a treat on the snow.

It really is a great allrounder.

Last year I managed to get mine home in quite deep snow, over some decent hills too as I live in the stix. DSG in manual and TC very much off and away I went!

My BMW E30 325 with an LSD is not so controllable but an awful lot of fun.... :evil:

It does mean that you can climb hills etc with ease. But it certainly does not help you stop!! Think thats where most of the 4x4's go wrong.
