The electronic nannies will NOT take care of you! They will take some of the edge off bad driving decisions, but they won't keep you from going too fast into turns, or braking too late in slippery stuff. It's better driving with them than in the days without (such as a '96 Cobra, or 93 RX-7... not that I'm speaking from experience, or anything); but don't start driving like you're depending on them. That's when you'll get in trouble.

Basic physics apply here, and nothing about this car can change those; if you must be concerned about driving a lot in snow, then a FWD or AWD will handle it better. If it's just the occasional bit, then put on winter or all-season tires, go slow, and just be careful.
