I'm driving a turbo, RWD saloon with a 2 way LSD along with a £300 1.0 Polo that is hanging together this winter. For the first time in a long time, I'm hoping for no snow, which means we'll get a ton.
A few years ago during a heavy snow storm on a night shift, the management had made arrangement to have the car park cleared with a snow plow, all the cars had to be moved, every car had to be dug out and pushed free, all except my polo, my friend who was helping move the cars said he just got in it and drove it out of the snow, everybody was amazed, I put it down to the thin tyres and a lack of power, so don't be to hard on the little polo,it may just surprise you.PRTVR said:

You know I'm doing me best to hate it but I can't. I bought it off a Canadian guy on Gumtree because I had no car for a week after I sold my 8 series and figured it would be cheaper than a hire car even if it blew up after a few days.133,000 miles and it still returns 42mpg. Going to need to get the handbrake tightened if the snow does look imminent though.

On a similar note, rain-x makes de-icing the front screen a lot easier.
I find it's smeary at low temperatures.Puggit said:

We didn't even reach 7 on the South Coast of England today, been so mild for so long here, it was probably our coldest max for almost a year.
I think this post helps to prove why, despite a recent wet couple of days in the south, that the weather patterns are very different to last year.
