i drive a super beetle, it goes good in the snow, but the brakes really suck, like suck a lot, i snapped the e brake cable last week trying to stop for a yellowlight, i went right through the intersection and almost hit a newer sedan, cant remember what kinda car it was. so besides the brakes my car is pretty good in the snow, ohh and sometimes when i do donuts and that fun stuff the car likes to push the front wheels straight, hahaha

dont forget to get sidewayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz everywhere!!!!  :rockon:

I drive my 69 Ghia from Langley to Vancouver everyday and it's pretty good in the snow. I did slide into a rural mailbox coming home down a steep side street in Langley the first night it snowed this year, but not hard enough to hurt anything because I was going about walking pace. My heater works great, so vision's never an issue.
