Word of advice to those with extra weight in the back:

The Miata guys discovered this 25 years ago and it bears mentioning: The car will want to turn around if it has more weight in the back. Try throwing a dart backwards if you need a practical demonstration.

With snowtires, this car seems perfectly capable unless the weather has reached "nobody should be out here in the first place" conditions. At that point it is a common sense flaw, not a design flaw.
