I'm partly interested and partly scared about the prospect of finding out how my brother's MR2 handles snow, seeing as that's what I'm driving for the foreseeable future
I feel the engine being in the middle could help with traction compared to a front engined RWD car but is it also likely to cause issues with a lack of weight over the front (steering) wheels, I do fear though that if it was to go wrong, our Phil is quite likely to go ape shit at me
With that in mind, I'd really rather it didn't snow

It won't help. Fwd cars are better because the front wheels pull rather than push. In lay man terms anyway

Well I certainly didn't grind to a halt, wish I had though, fucking hate snow, too many idiot drivers out there who have no idea how to drive for the conditions either!
