The funny thing is than when it gets cold (that is to say below -25), the only newer cars you see stalled at the side of the road are Italian and French ones... The truth is that those manufacturers often choose to ignore the needs of Northern markets (=beefing up the electric systems & heaters etc.).
One of the Finnish car mags holds an annual winter test where they test the suitability of different cars for use in winter conditions. Usually it's the Germans and the Swedes at the top, followed by the Japanese. The French typically come before the Italians and the Koreans.
