Anyone find theirs giving them a few scary moments? I'm finding it one of the worst cars I have driven for aquaplaning at fairly low speeds on the motorway and auto-routes (I do a lot of continental driving).

Have put it down to fairly light front end with the little 4 cylinder 2 litre diesel and the wide low profile tyres.

Am putting a set of winters on asap and will probably run them permanently as they deal with standing water so well in addition to snow etc.
