The X drive climbed out 1/4 mile of hill from the village with alacrity. It's got a lot worse since then though. Logistic fail was that the MX5 was left in the village and the BMW at home, thus forcing us to use the MX5 to work. I took it in this morning - brushed the snow from it and in fairness drove well on a snow/slush mix. Only one "moment" when a stupid buffoon in a Smart car just stopped dead in the road to let his passenger out, causing loss of momentum. Took the Transit out in work which was perfect for the conditions, no issues on the roads or NHS premises I drove to. Reversing it into one hospital car-park ensured traction and steerage ! Good motor in the conditions.
