Yes, I was really pleased with RB's test in the snow yesterday John, it was much better than I'd expected. In many ways it was more sure footed than the Skoda Superb estate - although I do think the torque of a diesel engine suits low traction situations well, the RB's auto box made up for that (I'm coming to like the 3 speed auto box).
There really isn't much I don't like about the RB the way it is :-)
