Mine is fine suprisingly.
Windscreen keeps freezing on the inside causing the car to flood when it defrosts though
Atleast its not overheating anymore

Corsa's been sound, got it stuck twice on Tuesday outside our unit but that was a fault with the driver  since then it's not missed a beat.
Sprinter's been doing well too, considering it's shonkeyness, it's a boss van
My brother's pretty much refusing to drive but that's probably a good thing for me, I'm a bad enough passenger in nice weather, being a passenger in this weather'd probably finish me off

i always keep my esp off mate. can't get to grips with it for some reason.
needs to stay off in the snow or it'll just cut the power and you'll go no where.
I just leave mine on usually, tend to forget its even on, but in this weather it's completely useless!
Got that noise looked into by the way, still not sorted properly, but they've done the driveshaft bolts mod that apparently needed doing?!

Half ripped off a corner splitter (fixed now)
Since the windows drop when you open the door the ice freezes the window to the seal so you can't open the door (frame less doors on bmw coupes)
Engine cranking slow (possible battery not liking -10 degrees or oil very thick)
door icing shut as well
headlight washer icing up and then firing it nearly out of its bracket.
Shit in the snow.
good points.
Hasn't let me down due to something catastrophic.
Big engine = lots of heat = heaters work very fast.
RWD + limited grip = (when prompted)
