93SE: the worst winter car i've ever owned

With every inch of snow that falls, it's another nail in the coffin of my 2001 9-3SE. Without exception (ok...the seat warmers are pretty nice), this car is the worst in weather i have ever driven. The lowpoint came when I slid helplessly sideways trying to go up what couldn't be more than a 10 degree incline in less than an inch of snow.
Sure, the tires aren't the best suited for snow (the 17" that came standard on the SE) - but should i really have to put up with careening around bends when we get a dusting of snow and dare to drive more than 7mph?
I have owned rear-wheel drive cars that were better suited for winter driving.
Everything else about the car I love - but until Saab delivers an all-wheel drive, I'll take a Subaru or an Audi any day.
