MK2 Leon - Very poor in snow
- Thread starter Al
- Start date
Oh noo! What happened? pics?
what looked like a lump of slush in the middle of the road was a solid block of ice. caught the corner of the bumper and has broke a big section off.
Sorry to hear that S2TTB.
I'm wondering how long the special 'chin spoiler' under the front of my Ecomotive (part of it's Eco aero tweaks) will last with all these solid ex-slush mounds along the middle of the country roads that I use daily. Hmm...

I went out in the TT today, its amazing how much more grip 4wd gives, and if you get over friendly with the accelerator the back likes to play. I'm toying with the idea of a volvo,mondeo, legacy all with 4wd just for the winter. For the sake of £500 and i'll sell it next year.
Didn't like driving the Leon at all on Saturday and Sunday morning. On the straights it was ok most times, but there's a lot of roundabouts on my route to work and it was very twitchy.
I know winter tyres are the answer, but they seem to be in short supply now? Bloody typical too, I was going to get some last month before I had to suddently get two new 'summer' tyres for the front, as one had an irrepairable puncture.

Absolutely fine in the snow if you take it easy, that's with summer tyres on too, I have 17" original alloys in my shed with winter tyres on and never needed them so far
depends on where you live also
I dont want to even think about driving here with summertires, also its illegal from this day to march 
This was my journey this morning, no doubt similar to lots of peoples.. probably a slightly different journey to yours in SE London??

The MAJOR snow we had last January, I drove an 80 mile round trip to work and home in it, every day, alot of country lanes too, no problems in the Leon FR.

back... one aero kit bumper needs replaced
**** the snow!![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
On the plus side you might pick one up cheap. Seat have a huge stockpile ready for the MK3 and possibly MK4
Mine hasn't been too bad in the snow up here in Gateshead. I put 4 new Rainsport 2's on a month and a half ago, and they have done a lot better than I was expecting to be fair. As long as you keep the rev's low, the car does ok, but it is back to standard map now, so will look at getting a remap in the new year once I can blast it around
