My wife's CS is great in the snow! It's very stable and never slipping sideways or anything like that. SUXS! DANG THING! To have ANY kind of fun you have to turn off of the PSM.. LOL! I can only imagine the turbo being better.

Our 05 Turbo with 22 inch all seasons is great in the snow. Well at least the 2 days we have had snow.

They are exceptional vehicles!

I would love a Cayenne Turbo as a daily driver all year, not least with all the snow here in Sweden.

BTW, I would have thought you guys were patriotically driving Jeeps. :D

Ironically we had a pretty good snow storm during drive time last night. The car performed perfectly, it navigated the snow packed and icy roads like it was on dry pavement. I'm highly impressed.

It's in the garage with a bow on it for the wife when she gets home later today. I wanted to take it today since my company car is so boring, but why risk using it in rush hour traffic?

Yea, 20 was on the high side. Maybe I can do a DE with it or something. The traffic in metro Denver doesn't allow me to get above 40 most days.

Mine works fine it the snow and there's only too much power if you have the pedal to the floor. I will disagree with Curt, it did take me a little to get used to it because even with PSM on, the pepper still let's you get about 30-35 degrees out in the back end before kicking in. My wife's Ford kicks in right away.

I've have had mine for 3 winters, lot's of snow -35 C and it's a fine daily driver. As with any short wheel base 4x4 it does plow a bit in slippery corners, but you quickly figure it out.

And yes, get winters on small wheels...

Jeff Alton 01-20-2011 07:14 PM

Yes to what stealthn said about winter tires, we have put a few locals into 18 inch wheels and snow tires. Then they go anywhere....

But for our westcoast driving, not all that much snow, the all seasons work just fine.
