15 foot turning circle
Today I wanted to take a fast u-turn on a narrow side street. There was a dusting of snow on the street. I just turned the wheel to left lock and let the throttle do the steering. Man... this car is fun. So easy.

True, but how often can you do it silently? That's why I feel bad for those people who don't get snow.

The only problem I have with snow, is that it's usually accompanied by salt. -_-

That's how I learned. Every snowstorm, I go find a big empty parking lot in the middle of nowhere and practice. It's fun and learning at the same time! Then when I wonder why no one else can drive in snow, I remember no one else goes out and practices - they just wait until the car loses traction to find out the hard way how their car behaves in inclement weather.

Yea this car seems pretty forgivable in the snow. Although after many parking lot adventures I've noticed having Traction on makes it harder to predict.
