Dam you Hoskib.
Seems as we on the subject of snow, I'm hoping we'll get some soon, as it will be the first time with my scooby, and wondering whats it like?.

Who's already had the pleasure/or accident in the snow with their Scoobys?
Interested to find out if I could get to work any quicker ( yet again do I really want to)

Dreadful usually. Performance tyres are the achiles heal, although if you can afford some spare wheels with proper winter tyres then they are pretty good. The ABS is a nightmare, prompting some people to pull a couple of fuses out to disable it if the bad weather persists. Just don't let the insurers find out

i've had the pleasurre of snow, we get plenty here in finladn, although we unusually barren of the stuff at the mo, got the MY05 WRX in august and the snow was in early november.

lovely, easy to slide it round the corners.
can't wait for more to come, hoping the local subaru club is organizing an ice track day

we are distinctly void of said white stuff at the moment but saying that we are also void of the nasty cold weather that goes with it!!!!! most bizzare!

Get yourself a set of Nokian WR tyres and you will really appreciate what your car is capable of in the snow
