What tyres it running Mallie? My punto out does 4x4's in the snow since its running winter "snow" tyres......

bit like getting a marathon runner to do a run in flip flops..

Problem is most people buying a 4x4 will never have it off the black stuff and want one that quiet, and to go round corners smoothly as such manufacturers usually stick road tyres on it

stick a decent set of tyres on for the conditions its used in and it will transform it....

I overtook a bmw x5 a few years back which was coming down a steep 1:4 ish hill in north yorkshire with all the 4 wheels trying to get up... the punto romped to the top

this should give you some idea as to the conditions

Mate I'm not sure if your aware but you can get hold of peoples address from car registration numbers from the DVLA. If I were to put a picture of mine up Id seriously consider blanking it out.

I'm sure no-one here would have ulterior motives but security is not a dirty word.
