I rented one and it drove just great on the autobahn from Stuttgart to Baden-Baden. The next day, we had 5-7 cm of snow and I could barely control it. It would not stop well at all, I slid into a traffic circle at low speed and almost caused an accident. The forward traction was very poor- it would barley go up a small hill.
