Every day mines a daily driver and the roads are more like Bobseigh runs up here. To be honest if you are sensible there isn't a problem at all mine will only twitch when provoked 
the right tyres and correct set up are a must though

I don't really have any desire to now that the hard top is on - I DEFINATELY don't enjoy the car as much with the HT on it.
Last year I was out every day throughout the snow, roof down, hat on!

Yes and loving it..... Well, until the back end kicks out every now and again! It certainly keeps you on your toes and respect both the car and conditions.
The only part I don't like is digging the S out of Ramsbottom!

Yep
Took me three hours to get to Poole today.
My thanks goes to Dorset Council for not gritting the roads, you utterly stupid, naive bunch of twunts
Had to help an old bint in a Jag several times...she just didn't grasp the concept of low revs...
Several twitches and slides over the compacted ice, but nothing I couldn't deal with

I too am using mine everyday.
It's been a bit on the twitchy side and friday night was interesting (driving up a hill with the car at 30 odd degrees to the road on 3/4 left lock and much wheel spinning) but didn't half get the heart rate going !

I feel for you Rob...they were gritting after it had been snowing for 1.5 hours at least my council have learnt the lessons from Feb
So many people were struggling to get up Oakley hill, the traffic was backing up for a couple of miles on the A31.
Went via Ferndown to get back home...think the rain helped to thaw some of the ice, but there are patches that are just rock hard...bound to catch out some unwitting driver.

Nope. Mines in the garage all warm. Used it the last time it was snowy and it was undriveable at times. The A3 with the quattro is great for traction until you wanna stop at which point it becomes like any other car with standard tyres.
