Nope, they did away with it on the facelift models! Tight bastards!
Tbh I was worried about going out in snow in it with no TC, but it was fine anyway.

thats alright then, for some reason the sedan just doesnt want to steer on frozen snow, it just goes where it wants which was slightly worrying lol

T/C for pussies who cant drive
if I had a car with abs and t/c...they be the first fuses I would pull out as soon as it snowed!
RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - Jonny81191 - 24-03-2013
I'd quite happily lend my car to anyone on here and ask them to try and drive it up a snowy hill. No way, not without a run up or a push.
Thing is, I can drive in snow, but just not in the estate

Ah well I didn't tell the whole story lol... They made major changes to chassis and suspension design, the facelift wasn't just a new front bumper... And because of that they felt it could handle the power better without the need for TC.
What they won't say is that it saved them money to not fit it lol....

Just been out and it's started snowing again! F'king stuff! It's deep enough as it is!
