i am surpriesed no one has commented on my nice 87 Volvo 740, nothing like a short wheel base and RWD,
all i have to say is people complain that its a bitch to drive in the snow, but living in northern Maine the thing is a freaking blast, the only car that was better IMO was my buddies 240 sport wagon, he had bald tires on it and it still handled like a dream, we could literally go side ways down the street and still have complete control of the car.
I personally have driven my 740 in about 4-6 inches of slush/snow and i had no problems what so ever. I think you just need to know how to drive it, when i feel the rear slip out on me i can immediately bring it back under control. Granted its no hummer but i am not afraid to go out in the white stuff with it.
