I think it depends on the conditions. hardpacked roads with some ice the car gets skittish (C2S) even with 'sport' winter tires. You cant have it both way: front engine rear wheel drive cars steer pretty well but have poor rear wheel traction. Rear engine/rear wheel cars definitely loose some traction up front. It just doesn't feel real secure at the front end in my opinion. Its fun at lower speeds but I would hate to be trying to make time on a hardpacked road at speed. My car is lowered with stiff suspension and not sure how that impacts my experience.

Growing up in snow filled winters, there wasnt a rear wheel vehicle I had the pleasure of driving around in the winter, with the exception when the streets are clear. Every vehicle in the house is either AWD or 4WD.
I can be golfing one day and shoveling snow the next in the SLC Valley, hence my preference for vehicles that are geared for "most" winter driving conditions--4WD or AWD
