How's your traction in snow???
I'm delighted that my 124, it's first use in winter, is exceptional in snow for a rear wheel drive car!
I've always used the Volvo during the winter because it has always done well in the snow, but this year it's heater core gave out a month ago and now I use the 87 300 D.....................good snow car! How about the 123's and 126's???? BB

300DT, no snow tires, pretty darn good. I don't see why father always complained(and got stuck). Still holds no candle to an A1 VW diesel in the wet white stuff though..

My SDL is nothing to write home about. Would it have broken the bank for them to put an LSD in the rear? Come on MB.
 As long as I avoid stopping on hills and don't go through snow deep snow I am fine.

Big bite snow tires (old school) and 100 lbs in the trunk and you can't even do a doughnut

My fwd TDI w/Blizzaks hasn't got me stuck yet (in MN & northern WI).
My 240D? No idea. It's never seen snow.  - Patrick
