Could you try out the snow setting for all of us down in the mild South?

It's thick now, don't want to wrap it! Hate driving in snow, it's the devils work & those summer tyres aren't confidence inspiring.
Haven't driven rear wheel drive in snow/ice ever! My Trans Am & Corvette were in hibernation during winter.

To be honest Croyde the snow/wet setting is instantly noticeable on the ecoboost, you can feel the engine output drop. In the GT I couldn't feel any difference

Just go gentle. Mind you my BMW is useless in the snow, couldn't even get away from the kerb, where it had been all night when it last snowed.

Haven't tried winter tyres tho'.

I've kept my old BMW (which currently has winter tyres on it), otherwise I'd definitely get a set of winters for the Mustang this year. Its a bit of a spend out on some new alloys, but I'd consider this a guilty pleasure.

Keep seeing people struggling with snow, there's been nothing in Aberdeen so far..
Anyway, you'll be fine, easy on the the throttle exiting corners and coming off roundabouts, if she slides ease of the throttle and counter steer (or power through and smile)

I asked a picture about this earlier, it really is quite something seeing a mustang in the snow, absolutely breathtaking, lovely picture too. :love:.

I know this sounds slightly stupid however, my EB will be my DD, and I don't plan on buying a 'winter car', Any chance you could test it in some snow, i know the Pzeros aren't the best for it, but US S550's are saying that it actually does quite well in the slow.

Snow seems to have mostly melted away but temps are supposed to be down to -4 tonight. She's coming out with me tomorrow so we'll see how well it handles icy conditions. Already planning my route to avoid hills starts away from lights, etc haha
Engage the snow mode

Graham, Had to go to Sunderland then Dalton Park in that today. If my mustang is anything like my BMW it won't be good. A19 down to 40 or less passing Easington. Hope it's better tomorrow.
For both of us.
