FWD '87 Toyota corrola i'm using at the moment seems to be handling the roads okay....i will say though it takes most corners better with the handbrake lifted hahaha

MY fiesta is fun as fuck!
doesn't do too badly up hills etc. either, unlike some (although I blame that alot on the poor drivers on the roads!) My mu couldn't get our sierra up the drive today though, then i came home and did it fine in the fiesta

My van which is a mwb VW LT35 is shocking. One wiff of Ice and its sideways. The slightest hill and its spinning like a spinning thing
My escort mk6 on the other hand is a blast.

My shitroen zx is blinding in the snow
I have noticed alot of newish mercs stuck, i think thats due to traction control and not being able to turn it off

My old xr4x4 was fucking brilliant in the snow, but oddly my 306 Turbo derv shitter is pretty good.
I think the main reason it's got a truck engine sitting right on top of the driving wheels

Bloody MX5 wont go at all and when you do get it going wont stop but a good laugh as it is on the lock stops all the way up the road, My VW passat has been a trojan as it just ploughs through the snow and the heated seats are great on cold mornings.

I think the bigger problem is the person driving the car and either not knowing how to deal with rear wheel drive in slippery conditions, or not being aware of the technology that exists to help them and knowing how to use it.
I'm lucky (?) enough to have grown up driving rear-drive cars and nowadays I'm in a C220 Sport that has no trouble going anywhere at the moment, though the wife did struggle to get it on the drive today.
ESP keeps the car going where I want it to go, and when I want some fun I just press the button on the dashboard to go sideways!

Our citroen picasso on its 185 tyres hasn't missed a beat in the snow.
My Vivaro van on its 235 tyres last year was gr8.
my 1994 transit 2 years before was shit, i couldn't get anywhere.
