If U R in Snowbelt, would U buy a rear-wheel drive car if U had to drive it all the time, including winter?

Up until the '80s, there was very little choice in the matter. The only fwd vehicles were huge sleds like the Toronado, Riviera and Eldorado - now fwd cars are almost the only thing being made in the world.

But lets face the facts; If you don't know how to drive in the snow you shouldn't be on the road. Fwd only allows less adept drivers to make mistakes (& survive) that they wouldn't get away with in a rwd vehicle.

If you're super inept at using common sense when behind the wheel, you can always opt for traction control, but you're only delaying the inevitable accident caused by a bone-head move. As Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid."

It can be done but it is a royal pain in the ***. If you really like it, just rent a car when it snows, or get a ride with a friend. You could also buy a cheap, old secondary car with fwd. It is really up to you, but plan on a couple extra hours to get where your going in the winter.
