Happy new year!

I spent the christmas holiday at my cabin in the mountains here in Norway. It was snowing quite heavily the last days which led to some inspiring driving. I love how this car performs in the snow, and the fact that you can turn of all traction control is just great

Hei Morten


Yes you can. Important feature!!! Press the top left button. Press it once and you deactivate anti spinn but you still have anti "slid". Hold it for 5-8 seconds and you take away everything(not ABS) This is a feature which for example Audi and Mercedes does not have.

Where in Norway do you live? Which car have you ordered?

Thanks. Silver might not be the most exiting color, but in the winter time with snow etc I think it looks good

Thanks. It was quite a lot of snow in some places, and I was driving for a while in deep snow so thats is why it turned out like this. It creates a lot of imbalance it the wheels when starting to fall out Needs propper cleaning of the rims to get all of the snow and ice away. But the driving in the snow taken in concideration it is definately worth it

It is mandatory to use winter tires in Norway during the winter season. I am using "Yokohama ig 52, 225/50/18. Quite happy with them.

Thanks Allan

Yes, we have had propper winter conditions for the last month. I have not experienced the car in really cold conditions, but at -26 celsius I still performs very well!
