I find that just about any car does fine in the snow with the proper snow tires. I have a set of winter wheels and tires for my SRT-4, firestone winter force 205/50/15, and the car is like a tank in the snow. I've never gotten stuck no matter how much snow. It was a whole other story before I got a set of dedicated winter wheels for the car and drove around on my summer tires year round like a moron. The car was basically undriveable if there was at least an inch or more of snow.

I've driven the FRS once this winter in a few inches of snow because I took it to work and didn't know it was going to snow and it wasn't the worst car I've driven in the snow.... but... on the stock shitty tires it was far from optimal. Getting up my driveway, which is a hill, wasn't very fun at all. If I had the same snow tires I have on my other car on the FRS I'm sure it would have been a breeze.
