Well there won't be much weight for traction over the drive axle compared to a FWD car but you can always add sandbags to the rear. With snow tires and some patience/caution, it should be fine. However, I am planning to keep my AWD Eclipse for snow. I remember being at a light next to a BMW with Blizzaks and he just spun the tires hardly moving at all while I rocketed off like it was nothing. I also remember going up a mountain in New Mexico when there was a terrible snow storm. All four wheels were spinning but it just kept going. If I had a 2WD car, I probably would have slid down the mountain backwards or got stuck there all night. BTW, my ground clearance is pretty low in the Eclipse but I've never found that to be a problem... it just plows thru.
