You have the same car as me (i've got a Scion iM) ...and live in AB...and experience winters...
And im planning on getting an 86 GT (waiting for used to show up or better pricing/deals on whatever 2020's are left...and if im still waiting by the time the 2022 shows up, i'll get a peek at that one too)
Get winter tires, that is the key to component to winter driving. Any wheel drive can deal with winter if you have a good set of winters. AWD obviously has the best advantage due to...awd.
With an 86 you'll be lower to the ground than the IM so expect the car to be a snowplow at times. I havent gotten stuck at all, but i also try to drive according to the conditions and I usualy try to avoid hilly areas. It doesnt matter what wheel drive you have, if the hilly area is icy and slippery, everyone will slide on it.
With RWD you can use that old trick by throwing a sandbag or something in the trunk for some extra weight on the back wheels.
So in conclusion (doesnt matter what car you have) get winter tires.
