Just fine. You just have to make sure that your tires are up to snuff. My fronts this season were a little worn. The past two winters were no problem at all for me and my Clubbie. Oh, but my Clubbie is NOT-just-a-cooper, however.
+1 I put a set of Conti DSW on in the fall and they rocked with all the crazy snow and sleet here in St. Louis Don't see why you couldn't''t expect same results on a Clubbie
mine has been great this winter, even with 3/4 worn out conti winters on it, can't wait to get the new rubber on for next season!
Clubbie S with new Yokahama's did great in the snow and ice. Ditch the runflats, makes all the difference.
I drove my Clubman in the snow with runflats and it was terrible. Not just very little traction, the low front spoiler scraped away at the snow. I know better tires would get you the traction but I really didn't like the possible damage from the crusty snow.
An interesting way the question was asked. Make of car or power package should not be parts of the equation. Tire type and patient driving and careful driving technique should be all you should worry about. I've seen cars you think would choke walk right thru new snow while morons with big four wheelers slide off into perdition and stay there. Most of the success or failure resides right between your ears and what's wrapped around your rims. My li'l guy just loves to go romp in the snow while others stand around and watch.
