N. Riley #88 says,
What did people do before front wheel drive? Surely some of that Mustang’s problems in the snow was the fault of the driver. Are you laying all the blame on the rear wheel drive system? Surely not.

No my friend. I owned a 1974 Chevy Nova back in my younger days. That car was a tank in the snow. My next car was a brand new Front wheel drive Pontiac Sunbird. I was unimpressed with the Front Wheel Drive. I honest thought my Nova was better.

As for the Mustang I was mentioning, It was most likely a combination of car, driver, tires, road conditions and transmission.

I have come to prefer Front Wheel Drive over Rear Wheel Drive. But in my opinion, nothing is better than All Wheel Drive

I’m pretty sure where you live, ice isn’t much of a problem.
I have an inch thick ice sheet covering my driveway.
but Front Wheel drive doesn’t always work well. My Elantra makes it out of my driveway with no problem. My wife’s Elantra does not.

I’m with Jake… I live in New England, all the cars I drove as a teenager and young adult were rear wheel drive, and they all sucked if driven in the snow as far as handling.

However who knows if C will even sell these with cold/freezing Winter climates.

Only good thing about rear wheel drive is no torque steer… something my Volvo S70 T5 suffers from when gas was cheap and I used to peel out from a stop
