The FR-S is one of the best winter cars I have had. I say this with a caveat. Obviously because of the low clearance, you can't drive on deep snow.
The reason it is so good is the way that it telegraphs your grip and how predictably it responds. With front wheel drive, you never quite know whether it is an adhesion problem or an acceleration problem. With the drive wheels in the back, the front tires telegraph the adhesion, and the rear wheels allow you to respond with the throttle. No torque steer induced weirdness, no over-light rear end. And, since the car essentially pivots around its center (or pretty near to it) it doesn't tend to swing out from the ends. Overall an excellent winter car, if you don't take it into deep snow.
