There is a good answer from Honest John in the Telegraph today when asked:
<div ="section" style="color: rgb51, 51, 51; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb214, 214, 214; padding-bottom: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular; line-height: 15px;">What car should I buy to cope with winter conditions?
My partner would like to buy a new/nearly new
car
which can cope with occasional snow and steep hills in the area she works as a GP. Her commute to work is a round trip of 30 miles, but there will be shorter journeys during the day due to patient visits. What do you suggest she buys?
Honest John's reply:
The new Peugeot 2008 with 'Grip Control'. Took me up a 1-in-3 ski slope covered in hard packed snow. 'Grip Control' comprises an electronic diff plus Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons tyres. The right tyres are much more important than four wheel drive.
