    Why I don't like FWD in the snow: steering. I've seen way too many people not being able to steer with a front wheel drive vehicle on a slippery road and plow through someone's yard. With RWD, give it a little gas and it turns just fine. As long as you aren't a smash the gas all the time type person, RWD is better, imo. I've driven through some nasty stuff this winter in my 2WD S10 with no weight in the back.

      True.. to some extent. A FWD if your foot is on the brake (which most people do when they dont have full controL) will do nothing more than skid, ditto that on a RWD or 4WD car. You will have to apply power, or at least let off the brake to get traction in any car, btw, traction control and ABS help
