I’ve currently got 4 Michelin cross climate tyres on my
Leon and I powered up a snow covered hill this morning that my neighbour in his Ateca was struggling on. If you can get them in the Ibiza size they are well worth it.

I’ve got those on my BMW M235i, and they’ve been absolutely brilliant in the cold, ice and snow over the last few days. But they’re also far better in cold damp weather than the Michelin Pilot SuperSport tyres it had on the summer!

Counting down the hours to get my Xcellence now! I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve - although this time around I’m hoping there won’t be snow when I wake up...

Haha exactly the same, ironic isn’t it. Haven’t been this excited for years

Brand new car. Brand new Summer tyres not even scrubbed in. Snow and ice. Personally, I'd delay it a few days.

I was thinking the same, luckily there isn't much snow round me.

If I am being honest am not really that excited about picking my car up... no idea why!! :blink:

As predicted, very much unlike Christmas Day, it's snowing here.

Forecast is to get worse throughout the day, and it hasn't fully settled yet. Although I pick the car up at 11 and in two hours time? This is going to be interesting... I think I'll be taking it fairly slow!

Good luck to everyone else braving it today!

If you pick one up in the East (Lincolnshire especially the whole county is shut with snow) you'll probably find out how comfy it is to sleep in when you get stuck :)

I just got home with my car! Managed to survive in the snow, although in truth the main roads were absolutely fine. Chuffed to bits with it!

EDIT - tried to upload a pic but apparently I need 15 or more posts before I can link to other sites.

We have a line of 18 plate cars sitting in the showroom, no pick ups today despite all (almost) the staff spending 3 hours clearing snow from the forecourt in blizzard conditions, I have aches in places I didn't know could get sore, too old for heavy shovelling lark now, and the rugbys cancelled tomorrow night, great start to the weekend.:shrug:

My 67 plate wasn't a September 1st car, I think it was picked up around the 9th, but I actually had to be reminded by the dealer to collect it - I'd pretty much forgotten about it during the 6 week waiting time. Zero excitement to be sure. At least I wasn't one of those neurotic types that nag the dealer for updates every couple of days ;)

I love her!!! But I have a question! I'm just looking through the sound settings and on the equaliser the bass is set to -9, it won't let me change it but if I click reset then the bass goes off all together and then I click on the + bass and it comes back on but I can't change the level? Any ideas? Trying find it in the manual but no luck!

Looks great! Not sure on the audio settings, but I finally figured out how to upload an image!

^ that looks fantastic.... loving the alloys.

Cheers! Really happy with how it looks :D - although at the moment it's hidden under a blanket of snow which is a bit of a bummer. Fingers crossed it still has that shiny new car look when it defrosts!

Anyone picked up a 1.5 TSI yet? Is it twin tailpipe underneath or single like the 1.0 TSI.
