I've always been a fan of AWD so I'm still a bit weary of having a RWD as my daily driver here in the winter. I'm hoping that with the LSD and traction control and decent winter tires, I should at least have enough grip to give me control and traction through the slippery conditions.


The thing about FWD is that even though it may technically have a little more weight over the axle, it still torque steers and doesn't do THAT great in the snow. I may actually prefer RWD over FWD in the snow as it will likely give me a little more handling capability. But there is a fine line between fun and scary so I worry that it may cross over into out-of-control zero-traction situations whereas my current AWD Eclipse never puts me in that situation; it's fun when I want it to be but always has just enough traction to get me through things.
