fishtail??? I thought the ESP was supposed to prevent that? maybe their electronic stability program wasn't working right?

I tried like crazy to fishtail and do donuts in the snow and it simply wouldn't. The problem in snow is understeer ( plowing straight ahead when turning), not fishtail.

That was pretty glowing. Amongst the only reviews (albeit a shallow one) to ignore the transmission. Good. I'll forward that one to my other half.. still working to convince him we should sell the great 325 wagon we have to make room for the smart.
