Like everybody else the country I woke up this morning to find that my car was covered in snow. not only was it covered but it was also deep in the white fluffy stuff. And it got me thinking, which car I thought was best for conditions like these, besides if it snows you want to have fun. So your going to want to have a car that can get you to the top of the hill with the most snow on. This is so you can go down in on ur sleigh.
Now, you probably expecting me to tell you about some huge, polar bear killing american 4x4. But although they have bad snow it doesn't stop their cars from breakig down. I don't necessarily mean that the car wont move but in an american car it is likely that the heater will fail or the lights wont come on. That got me thinking about a ceartain nation that loves all these problems, a nation that always solves them.
Yes, I'm talking about Germany! Ok, so we won 2 world wars but actually we have definately come second to them. Despite our 2 historic victories they are a much better, organised country than us, with very clever cars as well. Their cars tend to be quite expensive but only because they will never cost you anymore to run than they were supposed to. So your not always paying out bills for the broken air-con or the cracked window-wash bottles.
So, I have narrowed it down to Germany, now what do I do? Well, Mercedes are too expensive and they are more into the sporting side of things. BMW's can be pricey as well, they are reliable though. But Volkswagen on the other hand are cheaper than the others, safer than the others and definitely the most reliable. So I have decided that Volkswagen are going to be your best choice.
Now I need to decide which one, well I was thinking about the Touareg because it is definitely one of the best 4x4's you can get today. But just because it is big and it has four wheel drive doesn't mean its best for the snow, this is because its heavy so if you get stuck your not going to be able to push it out of trouble. The golf and Polo are way to small and may slip baddly on ice. So in between a Touareg and a Golf, well I figured it was the Passat. Big enough to fit all your skis in, all the safety stuff the government recomend and your family. Not to mention all of its safety technology which the Germans stuff it with. And it has a 4 star Ncap crash rating which means if you do take a spin (in the wrong way) that your nice and safe. Plus you can get heater seats with it which means you don't need to freeze either.
So lets sum this up, the Passat is Big enough, light enough, safe enough, warm enough and most of all its a Volkswagen which means it will never ever break (unless you got sold a duff one). So, car for the snow is Volkswagen Passat.
