It was a long time ago now but the recent snow reminded me of this.

A colleague at work wouldn't believe a Felicia came 3rd overall. Being the pedantic tosspot I am I had to find this. This all came about cos I had to be towed out of a ditch last Monday after skidding off the road in the snow in my truck, I mentioned that a Felly once beat most of the big 300bhp 4wd subarus and cosworths etc, because of the snow. 300bhp isn't much use in the snow!

Skoda rally pedigree & hope your slide didn't result in any serious damage!

My felica coped really well in the snow even climbed a big hill will no problems my boss's aldi q5 could not make it up same hill

No damage done although I have lost the towing eye cover, I shall have a look for it next time I drive past in daylight. It was only a little ditch! I dare saw,hard, lowered suspension and 195 wide tyres on an empty pick up isn't ideal for driving in snow!

Doesn't tend to aid snow/ice handling. The Fun has always been quite manageable in the snow but am always worried about an off road excursion as replacement bumpers etc really aren't cheap!!

Tiff needell in a felicia kit car in 54th never knew that he drove for skoda
