front wheel drive
generally true, but four wheel drive (AWD) is better, still, I think?
Michelin x-ice xi2 tires have a top rating for snow tires.
Any large and stable car. Take a Hummer, for example. Make sure you add snow tires, too, to add grip and traction to your car.

Snow and ice covering the road surface cause a reduction in friction between the car tyres and the ground (as you know walking on ice is slippery). This means that the wheels lose traction to propel, stop and steer the car. To overcome this, in countries where the roads ice over in winter, the law requires drivers to change all tyres to "winter" types which have metal studs in them. The metal studs allow the wheels to grip and make it safe to drive.
Sawdust will work best, and it's safe on grass.
frozen snow is ice frozen snow is ice
Ice is denser than snow
tually if driving in snow or ice it would be rear for better control otherwise front
no my friends car rolled down the drive into the middle of the road with the hand brake on the snow and ice just helped it to slide down
Just dont try is my best suggestion.
Yes. I own a 2006 and drive it daily including snowy days. With the right tires it can handle 2 or 3 inches of snow. Drive slow and steady and you are OK. Contrary to intuition, this car brakes better than heavier cars. The problem is with snow tailgaters hitting you. Choppy ice/snow road conditions warrant driving slowly unless you like to rearrange your internal organs. As with all cars and trucks, 4 wheel drive is best in the snow.
Buy the best snow tires you can afford for all four wheels and add some additional weight to the trunk. Without snow tires, this can be a very dangerous car to drive in snow and ice due to it having plenty of power, light in the rear and RWD.
Car chains are designed to aid the motion of the car during ice and snow. Therefore, they should be attached to the drive wheels of the vehicle. In other words, front wheel drive cars need the chains attached to the front wheels.

Mud tires will perform quite well in snow, with minimal slippage. However, they are not recommended for use on ice-- you will need specialized tires for ice.
Funny but very good question... If you are in U.S. yes you can drive to russia you have to get to very west of Alaska and then drive over the ice during mid winter but for that you will have to drive like a snow machine or something there is no road there just ice and lots of snow. If you plow it and drive sure lol... as of the other locations Asia and Europe ofcourse you can.
VSA is the Vehicle Stability Assist. Being that it is a front wheel drive car it has a stability control system that kicks on if you start to slide on ice or in snow and or when you get on the gas too quick the car will respond and compansate for the driving conditions. WORKS WONDERS IN COLORADO SNOW!!! NO CHAINS NEEDED.

ScienceDaily reported on June 1, 2008 that 24% of car accidents are due to ice, snow or rain.
