Have to agree with Dave.

I've had my 05 6 spd in four inches of wet snow. The stock rubber isn't the best tire for snow & ice (they clog up easily) but with traction control it's definitely driveable. With a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks or Dunlop Wintersport M3's you should have no problems. Provided you obey the laws of physics.

FYI, my last car was a front drive Volvo 850 Turbo. That car was horrible in the snow, even with traction control on the stock Michelin MXM Pilots. I put a set of Blizzaks on it and the car was great in the snow.

Moral of story...front or rear drive can both work. Tires make the difference.
