I've found my Cupra to be OK in the current snowy/icey conditions.
I have to get up and down a hill to before I can reach a clear road.
I turn off the ESP, stick it in second gear and as Martin Brundle says tread on the throttle so carefully imagine there is an...
Thanks Red Ibiza - I'm still smiling :)
Running costs for the Cupra - servicing was pretty cheap - I used a very good local independent, JKM in Portsmouth.
