I think I'd prefer one of these.

But thanks for the offer.

That's what my drive looks like in April.

My priority is comfort and economy, the C5 has performed well in the snow and actually done better than many 4x4s due to the advanced suspension. If I did go for 4x4 for use in the snow it would have to be a trusty Land Rover and not a Chelsea Tractor

really, a C5 in this weather?

4WD is nice to have but not necessary. Snow chains do the trick though. I've driven up all sorts of mountain roads in proper snow in front & rear wheel drive cars with (and without) winter tyres. I got stuck once, that was when I bought some snow chains, and after that it never happened again.

Well, there was the time I drove the wrong way out of a car park into a snow filled ditch thinking it was the road and had to find someone with a tractor to tow me out but that's another story.

Snow chains are bollox in the UK.

You get a mixture of treated and untreated roads. You cannot drive a car fitted with snowchains on a road without snow on it (it is illegal) and you'll find the council have cleared some roads and left other completely snow covered.

Not nearly as "bollux" as getting stuck.

That's true in most countries, even the ones that require you to carry and fit snow chains by law.
