agree with Tintin, changing direction & breaking on dense snow/ice will disappoint you, it will slide around like any car. I came into my road which was packed snow (maybe ice underneath) from the main road which was salted and mostly clear. ESP off, some bad tyres, and instead of slowing really down I went into my road as usual, it held through the turn so I felt confident, but then I tried to straighten out, slid sideways, turned steering wheel the other way, kept sliding, but then as it slowed down to about 5mph it gripped and straightened out. Perhaps it slid a bit less than a front wheel drive car, but it felt a bit hairy, came close to some parked cars.
