Why does the Audi A2 produce unusual handling in extreme weather conditions?

I have noticed that the Audi A2 has a tendency to lose control in slippery and windy weather. What is the cause of this and how can it be improved?

The unique lightweight design of the Audi A2 can make it challenging to drive in extreme weather conditions. To improve handling, it's recommended to equip the car with high-quality, all-weather tires and to drive cautiously in adverse weather.

The compact shape and low ground clearance of the Audi A2 contribute to its unique driving experience, but it also means it may not be ideal for extreme weather. Consider adding weight to the car's trunk or using winter tires for better grip in these conditions.

Audi A2 models built before 2003 had an issue with the car's electronic stability program (ESP) that could cause skidding and loss of control in certain conditions. It's recommended to have this system checked and updated by an authorized Audi mechanic.
