Slightly related, last winter was my first with the 300D.
Not a problem in snow, east coast or midwest. The PO used to get stuck in places I'd motor right past in my old FWD VW's, irked them to no end. I saw no problem with it as long as one was willing to not go stupidly fast. .. [/ QUOTE]
Maybe I over reacted a little to the comment.
Funny thing about my 300D, maybe its the gearing of the '85 but it won't go anywhere if it loses the slightest amount of traction. I was in a grassy parking lot once during a rainy day and I couldn't get out of the lot because my wheels were spinning. A few helpful people saw my dilema and helped push me until I got traction. I have the same problem in snow. If it snows, the car stays home.
