    We have a 2.2 CRD PT Cruiser and its useless in snow and ice, my little 1.4 Clio handles it much better. We had to abandon the cruiser at the bottom of the hill one year because it snowed while we were out and it just couldn't get up the bank. Best car I've ever had in snow was a little Morris Minor, flew through it (though I did have to put a breeze block in the boot lol)

    I've got two huge bags of salt in mine, a fleece and a shovel. I want to get some cardboard boxes to flatten in case I really need to have a help out of somewhere.


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
