its worse with an auto box, between 1st and 2nd, you get major wheel spin, so at like 3k rpm, you need to tap the accelerator and it shifts down.
nevertheless, i think its better than any winter beater

If this car wasn't such a train wreck it would be the perfect winter beater
lemme snap some pics of the mk3 for you this weekend.

I need a benz bad........
have you tried this one yet? I'm getting them, because they do work.
Not a bad idea. I rarely get snow where I live but I travel north quite a bit in the winter to ski. That's why I'm looking for a beater.
The SAAB has 235/40/17 Z rated tires that I'm sure won't be good in slush, the 190 has All season 16s that will do fine with a small amount of snow, the 16V won't see the the light of day 'till the spring and it's a good excuse to add another car to the fold.
