well i showed up many people today climbing up hills in my coupe, more to do with my driving skills than the coupe's snow coping abilities. its quite easy really take slow and stead and keep a constant speed, while every muppet thinks more power. there no grip so more will mean wheel spin and slide back down what muppets we live among. they all looked in shame and embrassement as i drove past them taking my time and not flooring the gas. but when i got home the snow was so deep at the side of the road i couldnt park, and there were loads of cars parked on the main village road rather than the front street. well a found the only spot that didnt mean walking 2 miles with all my shopping (i had actually run out of food, i wasnt panic buying like all the other retarded losers in tesco). so in i went parked nicely, then i could just feel the car sinking into the snow. the passenger door cant be opened. the snow in front of the car is above the bottom of the front bumper. the coupe is well and truely grounded on top of the snow. walking down the garden and along the pavement or snowment i was sinking in half between my ankles and my knees. so ive got an 8 mile trekk to walk tomz |

its ok, the bumper acts as a slow plow  the rear flange on my exhaust makes a nice line in the snow aswell work are so desperate to get my team in now they are sending out their 4 year old warrier 4x4 thing (bought just for the snow, stupid or what?!) to pick each of us up.... nutters |

My Coupe is absolutely awful in the snow - and I'm not saying that lightly! It's pathetic to be honest

Mine is useless too. No matter how good a driver you are with the auto gearbox it's almost impossible to get anywhere with a slight incline in icy conditions! |

I found the V6 no problem in the snow, must be all the extra weight in the front  (apart from one of the brake pipes splitting which was hairy)
