Idk, my Impreza coupe rocks. I don't have that problem.

I figured out that my car handles just as well sideways as it does going forwards last time it snowed....... Drop into 2nd and floor it to drift corners..... F U N N fun fun fun!

locking diffs are key for snow, not to mention offroading but you usually don't have posi on a 2.2 2 wheel drive should get a real truck, so should I.

locking diffs are good, but you cant drive with the diffs locked unless you are in deep snow/ @ limited slips are much better for all around driving.

im 100% sure. My buddy works on fords for a living. Ive stripped down a ford 8.8 and a ford 9, and seens the internals. Chevy is the only company that i know of that has ever used posis. I think now they use limited slips.

I have a subaru, and it kicks ass in the snow. Winter is the only time of the year where my car is one of the faster ones, so I cherish it greatly.

My car is TERRIBLE in the snow. 1984 volvo station wagon, rear wheel drive with all the weight in teh front. The only thing above the rear wheels is the spacious trunk. I have to put bricks in the back to help it in the winter.
