Any FWD, RWD or AWD (*including* Quattro) can be made to go quite nicely in snow when the right tires are put on them. The rest is just varying dgrees of confidence at incremental speeds. Some prefer the front weight biased FWD which is sort of a point and shoot dart approach. Others (myself included) prefer the rear driven, power-sliding cart before the horse. And yet a third category wouldn't be caught dead without their full time AWD pulling from both ends. It's all preference and none are completely superior. As in all things in life, it is a matter of balancing trade-offs. -Fred W
