Dident realise how bad rwd cars in the snow,i got stuck earlier on,and it was only the very slightest bit of a hill,and only a bit of slush,could of understood it if it was proper snow.

[cem_devecioglu]

you need snow tires..

in the past even with fwd I had problem without them.. :-/

[Varche]

They are pretty bad.

last year I had to abandon our car and walk the last mile home. A SEAT (Golf) came along and didn't even get as far as we had!

Try carrying chains or concrete slabs around in the boot.

[TheBoy]

With RWD, you need to be more prepared. They probably aren't any worse than FWD if properly prepared

[portomega]

i noticed that today, every other car seemed to get up the hills fine but the ass end was sliding around everywhere with the mig  and then coming back down i was the only car sliding about!!  next time it snows i shall stay at home 

[Lazydocker]

As TB said... Preparation is the key

I haven't really had any problems TBH... Certainly been as good, if not better, than any FWD car I've had

[Marks DTM Calib]

Nope, you need to know how to drive it nad preper.

Plenty of weight in the boot and get the tyre pressures down a bit

[Welung666]

Not had a single problem in mine.

[cem_devecioglu]

Not had a single problem in mine.

neither do I , because no snow

and I'm ready with 8 rather expensive winter tires

[tunnie]

much impressed with mother tunnies 3.0, snow button really helps, had zero wheel spin pulling off my road in it, in my 2.2 pulling of in second, back slides around a lot, i have put about 40kg of weight in the boot, and full tank of petrol helps.

Yesterday evening everyone struggled getting up our road except for one car - a rear wheel drive car with quite wide tyres.

[Martin_1962]

But I do have a large gas tank in the boot, a front brake disc set, a tool box and over half a tank of petrol.

And my rear tyres are at 20psi

[feeutfo]

thought mine was ok tbh, after sailing through a red light first time out  , i was the first one out of the close which is on a bit of a hill. But then i have a tow bar 2 tanks of fuel the spare, tools, screen wash, spade in the boot. Gentle with the controles and keep a nice steady speed.

Certainly seemed better than 3 e39s and lexus is300 that couldnt get out for days.

[Ken T]

Yes, I managed up a hill in Batley with 2 FWD cars sitting there, wheels spinning going nowhere. The full LPG tank plus spare wheel etc must have helped.

2 slabs in boot - feels a bit odd but getting by when I need to go out. Have to switch off TC occasionally. Just one problem situation - needed 5 to push clear.
