What is the best car to drive in winter?

A 4 wheel drive is always the best choice. No question about it. A Front wheel drive will get you moving quicker in the snow than a rear wheel drive, but will loose traction on braking and ice. It will always try to end for end on very slippery roads when braking. A rear wheel drive will start out slower and may even spin a wheel on start, but will maintain better control in slippery conditions and can stop with a better control. It will also handle a slide with better control.
