Now that we seemed to have had our fill of ice and snow - just wondered what the 996 Turbo was like in the snow/ice from any owners on here?

I've heard good things about the C4S previously - getting up difficult hills on the standard tyres - but was specifically interested in the 996 turbo (though happy to hear about the c4s too).

Cheers

Fine on normal tyres. Love driving it in the snow, the level of grip and feel with PSM off is unlike any car ive driven, other than X5 which was close.

With PSM you can just just drive normally, cuts in when in trouble. Personally my PSM is turned off at all time when snowing.

Btw - TIP

Drove mine through the few days of snow and not a hint of getting stuck on my hill. The same day I tried to get the bmw 535d off the drive and a big fat fail!
