Re: new car
dude, now come on.
AWD is defintely better in snow than FWD
Today in the chicago blizzard as my g35x drove surefooted in snow, and accurately changed lanes and took turns, I saw FWD cars like volvos and camrys struggle, and forget about RWD cars even with traction control they just are not the same.
yeah FWD with snow tires will do pretty good.
but an FWD w/o snow tires can not give you the same traction as an AWD w/o snow tires
and FWD with snow tires can not give you the same traction as an AWD with snow tires
question is, can an FWD with snow tires give you more traction than an AWD with all seasons. I would say based on personal experience.. No. I had a FWD with traction control since 2000. There is no comparison.
