C63 Owners -SNOW

[guyh]

It cant be just me but my C63 in anything over 4mm of snow is horrific! The slightest incline and its stuck! I know horrific is a strong word but honestly I'm screwed living on hill!

Anyone else had problems?

Its almost comedy motoring, i wouldn't mind so much but i've got new tyres on too so i daren't have too much fun, then again i am just as worried about burning out the Yellow ESP light it seems to be flashing quicker than the Christmas Tree lights.

Anything with big fat summer tyres is going to be rubbish in the snow.

I don't mean to be rude but would you expect anything different ?? I doubt if the performance in the snow was high on the list of priorities when the engineers went to work on this one

Snow socks or winter tyres. Also, try putting a sack of cement in the boot and turning off the ESP.

It's obvious, really: the car comes with an ultra high performace dry summer set up. It was never going to do well in snow. Nor was it meant to.

60k on a car but to tight to buy winter tyres.

Personally i took the post as more of a joke than a genuine complaint by the OP that the car doesnt perform in the snow.

It was a joke wasnt it????
