Here in northern lower Michigan, we have almost constant snow covered roads, from around December onwards. I use the Finnish brands, which are not so great on the dry pavement, but really stick to snow. They are hard to spell, but they make my Clubman into a snowmobile. - I've used Hakkapellita and Gishliveds over the past few years and love them. The Hakkies are pricey, the Gishliveds are not so. I had one trip on snow with my summer...

Thank you for the responses. I also found the manual on the Owner's Lounge. I am just glad to know the settings can be changed without the dealer.

Does anyone know how to get that fixed? A shopping cart simply rolling across the parking lot...

i should also add that while it is an extremely fun car to drive and has a unique personality, for many people as that fades, it becomes a car. Some people are able to hold on to it and remind themselves that its this awesome machine (these people being enthusiasts). Trust me, I wanted a MINI my whole life, and was very happy with the purchase, but after a couple of years you evaluate your situation and sometimes it just makes more sense...
