Elliott and I took Napoleon II into the snow today to see what he could really do. We were amazed at how well he did on the snow packed roads. As a matter of fact, coming down from the Snoqualmie Summit Tubing Area the Pass advised that trucks with doubles put on chains. We drove past one tanker truck putting on chains. We had no issues at all. Yahhhooo for the Just-a-Cooper!!
Looking forward to even more adventures in Napoleon II! Edited by valvashon - January/14/12 at 7:44pm |

Do you have studded tires? I wanted to take my car out in the snow to see how it did but was hesitant.

No studded tires- just a new set of Continental ContiProContact tires as of yesterday. I carry chains if needed, but didn't need them today. As I tell everybody, the MINI is hands down the best car I have ever driven in the snow.

All my coopers have been my daily driver and that means driving in the winter. I've never had any problems with good snow tires on.

I tried taking mine out in the snow and I managed to make it up my street the second time but I will blame my summer tires for my troubles.

Snow tires and a MINI are great! The Justa is actually a bit better than the "S" because it won't break traction so easily.
