i drove a friends 90 miata rag top in winter and hated it , everything kept fogging up all the time !
the windsheild and the pathetic plastic back window .
i've driven fwd cars several times and had the back end slide out , so much so it barely registers anymore
front wheels sliding is easy to control too , but since it happens so infreqently , i have to think to take my foot off the gas pedal and steer -- both are easy to do its just i've had alot more practice with oversteer than understeer -- which in itself speaks volumes
i watched this 90 zx - 2 years ago try to get out of this snowy icing parking lot , my car had no problem with it at all , getting in ,parking ,backing out, and leaving , i watched him at least 10 times try to get his rwd car out of the parking lot , their was a slight grade , we tried to push it but it was slippery , making it hard to do , in the end he left it there -- and thats the difference between fwd an rwd in snow
i'm not going to debate tires
