I have to tackle two steep hills both up and down on the way to work. But I love it so don't care.
Hmm to keep the vectra or sell and buy a cheap 4x4?

This will be the only reason I'll miss my Brother's old MR2, it caused me grief most of the time he owned it but slow mo drifting around every corner made journeys so much more interesting

This year I'm back to FWD so I'm not expecting problems.

Front wheel drive with skinny tyres should be able to tackle most eventualities, which is exactly what I've got with the Combo

I can see Steve crashing his car in the snow. Over confident in his abilities after 2 trips to the Nurburgring IMO
