    I just ordered a Audi Q5 - good feedback from current Q5 owners in the snow.

      They are through the crap phase now, in some cases they are better then the BMW equivalent and much more exclusive. Although that isn't hard.

        Just seen a BMW trying to get round the corner at the end of our round (0 Gradient).

        Wheels spinning, slipping all over the show.

        No such troubles for our soft-roader...

          I've watched people struggle driving in snow and their actions border on the ludicrous - suppose it's because we as a nation have so little experience

            Did you have one and experience any of those probs? If so, what sort of mileage were you on?

              Yes and yes, both. Was on about 65k.

              Impossible to diagnose if its the flywheel or clutch so need to get them both done.

                Ouch, sounds pricey.

                      I see someone has beaten me to this, but in case you missed their post I'll repeat: just about every Audi model has a four-wheel drive version.
