Some of it is that there is more weight on the drive wheels, and some of it is that FWD will usually understeer where a RWD will oversteer, Most drivers are far more comfortable with understeer skids than oversteer skids. FWD is also way better if you need to steer out of a parking space.What is it that makes FWD preferable for driving in dicey, slippery conditions like that?
I have a Miata that is fine in the snow as long as I have the snow tires on and the snow is not too deep, but I'm pretty comfortable driving sideways. I'd drive it more in the snow I weren't afraid of getting crushed by an Escalade with all season tires.
