    2000 Peugeot 206 GTI. Small hot hatch only 3.82 meter long.
    Superchipped, lowered ( it cannot go over bumps) and modified to get an extra 20bhp.
    Fantastic roadholding and can be thrown around corners with minimal roll.
    Fast enough to beat a lot of much bigger cars, including Mercedes S320, but lost marginally to a Mercedes S500 in a race from 0-100km (that was because I had one passenger onboard whilst he had none).
    I am behind a Mitshubishi Evo V111 but way ahead of a Camry or a Honda.

    i never have driven a fwd car, prolly never will.
    rwd is ok in snow, it more depend on how the car was designed than rwd vs fwd traction.
    for example,

    1. why i havent see any police, ambulance vehicles that are fwd?
    2. why M. benz, ferrari, Lamborghini, lotus, bmw, upper lexus, upper infiniti, upper acura, jaguar, etc don't make fwd cars?

    RWD cars, specially sports cars tend to have higher accident rate than FWD car in snow. Since the power is from behind, when you press the brakes, many of them would start to "loop" and I have been seeing this every year.

    I used to live in a small town in Indiana, US, where no snow trucks shavel the snows, and people would not buy any sports car in that area for this reason. (Most of people there go for 4wd trucks.)

    Forgot to mention, luxury cars companies don't make cars especially for snow places.

    i drive a 2dr 1976 olds cutlass salon (sports+ luxury)
    it has sport rally wheels, aerodynamic rear view mirror, and floor shift, front and back sway bars. It has the olds rocket 350 engine. By 1976, the engine was tuned down due to smog devices and control. The best years were 1968-1972, peaking in 1970.
