I also drive an 01 Golf, but I am answering your query more from a general viewpoint.
I have found some local roundabouts very slippery compared to others. Are these roundabouts new to you? Are you used to driving them?
I use about 10 roundabouts regularly on my weekly driving experience, and there are 2 that are notorious for being slippy compared to the rest. Others have also commentated on them. The slightest bit of damp or cold weather and they are like ice-rinks.
Just pointing out that it may not be your car necessarily.
