A 20 year old accord with worn all seasons is better in the snow then most of these massive chudmobiles. And that's before you factor in the mindset to take low traction as a sign of disrespect that has to be corrected by flooring it and oversteering into a ditch.
If the 94 honda accord has no fans, then I am no longer on this earth
That said, I have no idea on what basis you make that first claim lmao. Is it SABILITRAK^TM^ that you take issue with?
First car was a 98 civic i got for free because my uncle didn't feel safe driving it anymore just because it didn't have a working speedometer and the passenger door only opened from the inside.
Whays the first claim? it being better in the snow?
Front the wheel drive is just generally better than rear wheel drive in snow.
That's before you factor in the rear wheel drive vehicle doesn't have any weight on the rear axle and is being driven by somebody who's idea of off reading is driving over a curb in a parking lot.
Idk what the 4wd capabilites of the biggest trucks are because I actively avoid being in them if I'm relying on a vehicle to keep me safe in poor conditions but even if the front axke is performing great the back end is still going to be doing everything it can to oversteer and chuck it in a ditch.
My highly unscientific research involves a disproportionate amount of white dodge rams in ditches after a snowstorm but there's also a disproportionate number of them around being driven by the dumbest guy from your high school class.
