I love my car in the snow......it's a lot of fun, being RWD...hehe. With good tires on it, you can have all the traction you want, or break it loose as much as you want. And with good tires, its not too difficult to control it, even when it's sideways.
(if you have some experience w/ RWD anyway). I've never had it in really deep snow though.....only about 4 inches or so. Being that it sits pretty low, I doubt it would do good in really deep snow. Hope that helps.
