I agree that a FWD with good snows will perform really well in the snow, but an AWD with good snows is even better. Its pretty hard to argue that 2 driving wheels will grip better than 4. Most of the time AWD isnt needed but in adverse conditions AWD will outperform a FWD any day of the week. I had an Audi before my SAAB, it was great in the snow and in the corners but the extra weight an friction due to the AWD really slowed it down. AWD must lower wheel hp by some %, anyone know what it is on average?
