All weather rider here except for snow and really heavy frost as done it before back when I was a teen on my old YB100 and it was not a nice experience. I really hate having to drive the car, it actually makes me quite depressed but that's probably more due to the fact that my car is a tiny 1.0 3 cylinder and gutless in the power department.
Sounds like a Pug or a Citroen

No it's a SEAT Mii, For what it is and what it's being used as at the moment rather than what it was designed for, it is a cracking car and cheap to run, but we need a big family car so we have gone out and ordered a new Skoda Fabia Estate which we will be picking up on 1st March can't wait, really fedup of having to borrow the old mans car whenever we need the boot space.

Fabia Estate ehh! [/size]
Plenty of room in them, there was a lot of jokes about the Skoda a few years back, but no ones laughing anymore.
The Fabia a great motor. Enough power, plenty of room.
One of my mates always had escort estates for years and years, he swore by them, until, On holiday he was given a Fabia saloon as a hire car, within 4 weeks of getting home both he and Penny (His Mrs) were both the proud owners of Fabias.

We test drove one last week and we were hooked, the build quality was excellent and with the TSI engine it just pulled away with the greatest of ease and it's only the 1.2 with 90bhp.
I remember all the old stories about Skodas as when I was a wee nipper my auntie had one of the problem Skodas that was always going wrong, my cousins hid their heads in shame when their mum dropped them off at school in it :lol

I think I might have to give that idea a miss at least until the car is a few years old, plus if I damaged the car the wife would kill me
RIP my beautiful red beast 1999 to 2017 ???
