Mine is arse. I blame the tyres, compared to some other cars I've driven it's only just better than my old 3 series, but that didn't have TC so I could just power through!!! It's OK going very slowly in a straight line but like any car not on winter tyres as soon as you try to slow down it all goes horribly wrong!

I thought my vti was pretty steady in the snow. Probably better than the civic I had before it. Got my THP now though, just need to remember to be a bit more gentle under foot when the snow comes! Funnily enough snow is forecast for tomorrow night up my way!
Thought mine was really good last time it snowed ..............back followed the front etc stop ok without the abs being too stupid tires on mine are 205.40.17 toyo proxes and they coped ok as well
The standard-fit (on the THP, anyway) Potenzas are a nightmare in the snow, especially if part-worn. Made worse by the fact that you can't fit snow chains on 17" rims. The Potenzas are so bad that I bought a spare set of 16" steelies with michelin tyres (not winter ones), and they're soooo much better in the snow (not bad the rest of the time, either!) and they take the snow chains, too.
if you get a flat in that it's going to be a bitch to pump up

have sold the racing but ive still got the ultra prestige
Remember it's not the car that is at fault rather your skills when handling snow driving.
Best advice I can give anybody, coming from spending 24 years in the north of Scotland, is to drive in snow like your in 'Bullet Time' (great Max Payne reference!) and slow everything down.
I drove a DS3 wearing Potz in 8 inches of snow and it was no bother what so ever as it's all about the technique
...I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!
