corsa manages not too badly and is possibly easier to drive than the vectra in the snow. although so far the vectra is managing ok.

so in summary, both my cars coping fine in the ice and snow.

Starting to wish mine wasnt so low and kept the body standard.
So many people are driving like knobs down here, ie pulling out of junctions on me on a road covered in ice...

well just now thought ma tracking on car had gone as wheel was rumbling at high speeds turns out all that was needed was to remove all the clogged up snow all in side the arches full of snow which turned to ice not letting the wheels move freely...

All the cars in the household have done fine.

I've also not damaged my wheels because I'm not an idiot.

Punto is fine, never fails to start in the freezing conditions.

Mines fine with the minor exception of a fair amount of snow getting into the number plate light obviously meaning it now doesn't work!

Wouldn't even consider taking my Corsa out in this and won't until its clear and dry. It is tucked away nice and snug under a warm cover while I cruise the snow in style with my daily driver.

The cold has killed my battery so had to buy another last sunday and yesterday i lost a rear mud flap and saved my other mudflap today after seeing it hanging off when i got back from work scratched my front bumper while trying to dig the car out the snow.

Totally sick of getting stuck in the snow.Big wide wheels are fucking useless and even worse with having toyos on.
