I've driven everything we own in the snow/ice aside from the street bikes...never had much of a problem in it.
My first experience driving in the snow was in
one of these. Positive traction is a life saver. >) Matter of fact I've always felt "safer" in a rear-wheel drive no matter what the conditions. I'd much rather deal with over steer any day of the week, but I have no problems with front-wheel drive...just hate having to adjust my driving style for it. ><
