Is the evoque any good in the snow?

Looks like i am about to find out. Its snowing really heavy here in co durham at the minute.

Blizzard conditions!

Also found out today that the boot isnt really that big, had to give two colleagues a lift home from a training day today and found out 3 cops public order kit bags will not fit in the boot.

They are rather large bags though. It did 2 easy but 3 was impossible.

Yeah mine handled it without missing a beat today. I saw a Q5 and the X3 kicking about today but they seemed to be struggling in parts where I as just placed it in the Snow & Mud setting (for the deep bits) and let the car do the work.

The Hill Descent Control in the snow is especially impressive.

I am still waiting for my Evouque, but from experience, it is all about tires. So if you have real winter tires and not those all season ones, you should be ok.
Also from manual: If the snow is deep, Sand mode works better than mud and snow...

cheers

Please try it down an icy road hill (ha), as that I feel will be the REAL test.
