What you calling ugly?
That's my son's new (to him) Golf with snows and a Metalnerd 2" lift. Firestone Winterforces. Pretty unstoppable, but not beautiful, I'll agree.
My wagon looks a lot better, IMO.
I run Continental Extreme Winter Contacts and they are grippy, stable in dry, and QUIET. Third (and probably last) season with these. Drove to Detroit and back with them two weeks ago and no complaints. 45 MPG, too.
And they got me into work last winter in this, before the parking lot was plowed.
BTW, the Golf is on all-seasons. He made it, too. I think a lot of winter and slippery condition driving is about technique. My wagon makes about 260 lb/ft. of torque, closer to 300 in previous winters, and I can drive it in snow without spinning the wheels. No ASR or ESP, either.
