When the snow came

I backed my car out of the drive, only to go backwards down the slight hill we live on. I then had to leave it there all day as this scandinavian car designed for colder climates that ours could not get up a 1% hill gradient!!!!

The problem is not the Saab, but the tyres. You need winter tread tyres for these conditions.

don't rev the car... bring up the clutch slowly without your foot on the throttle, really gently and if it's only a slight incline, however icy/snowy it is you'll get up it if you slowly ride it out. it works, honestly!

with front wheel drive is better to go up backwards and of corse put winter/snow tires on the car

I think the problem here was not the quality engineering of a swedish car (which is essentially a Vauxhall Vectra rebadged!) but the retard driver who clearly is worse than a woman. Saying that - he does look a little bit like a woman and has women's breasts!

Very true - sensible swedes use studded tyres in winter. Also backing up on a slippery incline in a FWD car is sometimes more effective.
