Doesn't jibe with my experience.

My RWD car gets stuck in snow all the time. And our driveway is 1) inclined fairly steeply and 2) has no straight shot -- corner lot, two quick turns to get into it then up the hill.

The FWD minivan has no problems at all with the same driveway.

Regards,

Really, seriously, we do; I remember a statistic... - (CRConrad) - (35) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:44:40 AM EST

But how well does a rear-wheel car do in the snow? -NT - (admin) - (19) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:47:45 AM EST

with posi rearend much better than front wheel drive - (boxley) - (12) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:53:50 AM EST

That seems counter-intuitive. - (admin) - (11) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:55:32 AM EST

4 wheel drive is geared towards additional traction in deep - (boxley) - (8) - Jan. 8, 2002, 12:03:20 PM EST

OK, that makes sense. - (admin) - (7) - Jan. 8, 2002, 01:12:32 PM EST

If you're used to it (and careful), it's manageable. - (CRConrad) - (5) - Jan. 8, 2002, 12:42:29 PM EST

You hardly ever want to accelerate and brake simultaneously. -NT - (CRConrad) - (5) - Jan. 8, 2002, 06:12:35 PM EST
