Depends how fat your tyres are. Its those sort of days when you wish you were driving a 2CV.
Descending a windy country hill with hairpins - not good !. A few rotations before it stopped in a bank and then abandoned.
A car attempting the same hill later on wasnt so lucky as he had a few rotations and stopped in the tree beside mine!.

Yes the Coupe is ok in the snow - the key being all that weight over the front axle. Just be light-footed on the throttle and use the torque to pull away in 2nd..........

They're fine, just keep a gentle foot and be careful on the brakes as the arse often likes to come round - they're not the best balanced car, especially on the brakes.

My 325 ti compact and Pug 206 are both on winter tyres, just need some winter weather now! The last two years I've bought winter tyres and barely had a frost here in the south west.

Had our first snow day of the year here on Saturday. My door locks froze and my battery died.
Took the girlfriend’s Audi out instead.
I had my Coupé all the way over the Cairngorms in heavy-ish snow early last year, just after buying it. No problems at all, it happily trundled past all the bigger machinery that had got stuck.
