Cerb in winter?
Discussion
How many use a Cerbera through winter?
I'm still looking at buying a cerb, after finding the car thats suits me & my budget i now find my self considering an alternative car to go though the winter then looking again for a cerb come spring time...
I would use it just about every day through all weathers, so what are they like on a freezing cold January morning?

I did when I had mine. Only deep snow stopped me but I can't remember the last time I drove in deep snow anyway.
Just because it's a quick powerful car doesn't mean it'll bite in bad conditions, if you use the loud pedal properly and keep the revs down you can still keep up with traffc, drive sensibly and have no problems in poor winter conditions. You just have to remember not to give it too much too quickly. Get into that mindset and you'll be fine.

Use mine virtually every day, rain, snow, no matter what weather.
Only time you wouldn't be able to use it would be if the snow was deeper than the ride height (if it starts acting like a snow plough), but in four years of driving Cerbera's, that's never happened yet.
Sensible use of the throttle and brake very early and lightly - like any car in the snow.

Those cold crisp winter days i find perfect for a blast in the Cerb. But snow and such is a definite no-no - i did have one of the most scary drives of my life in teh Cerb once when the heavens opened and 3 or 4 inches of snow fell in about 30 mins.
Always check the weather forecast, and if in doubt, leave the Cerb at home

Hi Greg
How's it going?
I remember that, didn't a short journey take you 3 hours or so?
Hi Graham,
thats the one
- i had just picked her up from Topcats after a service, so the 12 mile 20 minute journey home did take me about 4 or 5 hours, although some of which was time spent in a public house waiting for the blizzard to recede!I bought mine one December - ran it all year for 5 years. Once had a hellish job exiting a cinema car park (up hill) as it had snowed during the film. Drove home mostly sideways with the wife screaming in my ear.
Other thing that bugged me was when the windows would freeze shut after it sitting outside on a frosty night. Not much fun when you have an early flight to catch.
