So why don’t you want to drive your FWD german hatch with it’s anodized steel body in the snow? Think you won’t like how it looks with salt on it or something? Because that’s about all that happens to a VW through the winter. Spend $2380 on the Oettinger upgrade and a bit more for snows on steelies.
