I have never driven anything with Less than four wheels.
I am sure it is safer, and much better for the masses, but I wouldn't want the understeer. I am not saying its a bad car, just that in my opinion I would rather have rear wheel drive. I know it would be an added difficulty to keep it balanced and the power lost trying to move the front wheels would be lost in the driveline.
Driving in snow is as bad as the driver. I can easily drive in snow without a problem, and maybe in a closed parking lot without other people, poles, and cars, it may then lose traction in the rear...
