Which car?

[gingerjedi]

Wife has a Mazda 5, it has 5 conventional seats and a 2 person bench that folds flat but you lose most of the boot with it up.

Best bit is the big sliding rear doors which is handy in tight parking spaces.

Till it snows?

Yeah, like it doesnt snow in Germany, Switerland, Austria etc, etc you mean!?

Just because UK motorist arent prepared for driving in such conditions doesnt mean the car cant cope.

Having finally just got rid of my own rear wheel drive, I suspect it won't cope at all without some decent winter tyres - that was all I meant.

Its a legal requirement in some European countries. But people here think they can drive rear wheel drive cars on summer tyres in winter then blame the car for any problems.
