I wonder who will be the first to be able to try the 'snow mode' on the Grip Control this week if we get the predicted cold snap coming across country. I guess more likely to be those in the 'northern terrorities'. Interested to know how it works though compared to the 'it'll drive up a ski slope' propaganda video.
This is one of the reason I bought the 2008. My estate just has the slightest of inclines that is a bugger the moment it snows but doesn't really merit a 4x4. I have about 500 yards of estate road then out on to gritted main roads all the way to work. But a couple years ago, people down my end of the road were marooned for 5 days! To look at the slope you wouldn't think it would cause hassle - but it is just enought to be problematic esp when the rear wheel BMW clan turn it into an ice rink by flooring it all the way up the slope. Winter tyres on my 207 have helped enormously. But will be interesting to see how the 2008 copes in Snow Mode.
Sadly I will not be able to try it as my car is still a glint in Peugeot's eye at the moment. Knowing my luck so far, theyy will get it built then not be able to ship it over due to bad weather!
