Re: snow performace 850 97

posted by  someone claiming to be derspi on  Tue Jan 9 16:23 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've always regarded my '95 850 turbo as a great car in the snow--within it's limits. The transmission has a great winter mode program that softens up the shifting and starts the car in 2nd or 3rd gear (I forget which gear) that takes care of wheelspin. In fact, where I live since we only get maybe a few inches of snow at most in the winter, I have yet to feel the need to slap on some snow tires. But just driving cautiously and remembering the good old laws of physics, I've found that my 850 has been a trusty friend in the snow.
