Hey,

Here in Slovenia we generally get 3 or 4 months of snow. I drive my Box all year arround without any issues. Obviously you need winter tires (I have Dunlop Sp sport) and show common sense on the snow.

I find my car better to drive in the snow than my wifes 2008 C class merc, maybe its the weight over the rear tires?? PSM helps

Just dont gun it arround corners on the snow, it will understeer like mad. On the freeway I can sit on 80-100kph comfortably on the snow.

Cheers
