Stilo with new tyres will do better than a 4x4 with crap tyres. I should know, stuck in north of Scotland a few years back during the real bad winter we had. I had to get out and push diesel golfs and freelanders up a ice covered slope. By the time it was my turn to get up the hill everyone was knackered and the Golf and 4x4 drivers long gone (why muck in when someone has already helped you crest the hill). I made it first attempt in my 1.2 Stilo to rapturous applause from the few folk left.

i saw quite a lot 4x4 stuck i was just going past them i notices ford focus dont handle the snow very well

Stilo with winter tyres is better - almost unstopable infact
