What happend that is very bad. The secret, don't leave anything in the car, even if you know its not valuable. Good luck.

I'm guessing Reno is talking about how he will have to climb in the hatch to get into the car (I had to do that when both locks were frozen once).

haha you guys have funny comments. Actually the garage guy had to climb out the passenger side window in order to get out. i never take the 951 to place where other ppl would need to drive it.

I was speaking to driving it in the snow. in the last week we have received a good amount of snow. My S4 is great in the snow, cant see driving anything else. When i brought my 951 i was driving it home and i got caught in a white out and spun it twice about 5 miles from my house going in a straight line, traveling at 15 mph.

Here in Sweden we get a lot of snow and I have used 951:S though a few winters here and with LSD and good tires they are great in my opinion. Even my wife thinks so and the heater is exellent so get good tires and go for it.

Open diff and all season on my 924S and it still did decent in the snow. Granted, 17" kept me from driving it for a few days:



But now I have quattro/4xmotion and snow tires which'll go through just about anything.
