2008 Volkswagen GTI review
If you live in a cold area, and you have a new 2008 Volkswagen GTI It's always a good idea to head over to a large empty parking lot in your neighborhood when the seasons first snowfall hits. The reason for this is to give you a little time to acquaint yourself with your winter driving abilities in your new Volkswagen GTI, and feel of your car on the slippery road.
Remember bridges and overpasses freeze first. Slow down and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
Keep your GTI windows clear of snow and ice.
Keep your speed steady and slow. In deeper snow, it's often necessary to use your GTI's momentum to keep moving.
