Just curious if anyone has owned or driven both a Passat auto and a Jetta 5spd in the snow. I know the Passat has traction control. Don't think the Jetta Manuals do?
Opinions on which is better in snow?
I have a fairly steep driveway and live in rural Wisconsin, I need something that can make it up the driveway. I know people say the snow tires mean everything.
I have had people come to our house with minivans with all season tires and make it about half way. Then when they back down they slide sideways off the drive. Something about the engine always wants to go first. Though I don't think they had anti-lock brakes.(old Van)
I can almost always make it with my rear wheel drive f150 with snow tires. As long as The snow isn't too deep. If it is I Park at the bottom and make a pass with the John deer. Problem solved.
