That's because you were using all-seasons. This car, when stopped, is NO DIFFERENT than any other car when stopped. If you're sliding off the road like that, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the car, and literally EVERYTHING to do with what are apparently REALLY terrible tires.
This car is every bit as capable as any other vehicle in the snow when it comes to cruising down the road, with the exception of the ride height meaning it can't tackle snow quite as deep. The only "disadvantage" to this car is the RWD which makes accelerating a bit more... fun.
Personally, I would never drive a RWD coupe like this in the snow without dedicated winter tires. They are LEAPS AND BOUNDS above even a good set of all-seasons in the winter. Watch this video below:
