Massively impressed with the 182 in snow

[Darren S]

I've been up and down the lane around half-a-dozen times in the last few days and each time the 182 manages it with hardly any fuss or drama. The only slight issue I've had has been with the run-up to the entrance of our lane. It's on an incline and if you get traffic coming the other way then I'm knackered and have to roll down the hill - lol!

As it is, she's flawless and much better than when we had snow and cold weather at the start of the year. Whether or not that's down to the new Dunlops on there (and/or possibly the Eibachs?) - I'm not sure. But having seen so many other makes and models struggling on the roads, I'd have to give my own car top marks for its poise and control in this sort of weather.

Well done Reno.

It looks good in the snow mate.

 

[TimR26]

I find mine handles the weather ok as well.

ahh so it was you I saw in Blackburn Asda the other week

 

[Just Plain Yates]

With suited tyres any car can handle a couple of inches of snow. They use the same cars as us all over europe.

i've been quite impressed with my mk1, lol. Managed to get everywhere i've asked it with minimal fuss, when several 4x4s were struggling (pile of cars in a ditch, with an x5 on the top anyone?)

I was horrified with mine when the snow started, but actually having had heavy snow today it was really good. I think before I was judging it on hard compacted snow/ice which it really was bad on. In deeper snow it's pretty damn competent.

Cheers! Looking at the pic again with the snow tracks - it could appear that I hand-braked it into there - lol!

Ah - were you in a silver 172, m8? I glanced at one in the rear mirror as I turned left to go up towards the hospital. Apologies if that was you!

Nein! They've been off for a good 3+ years now. I actually prefer the look of them without.
