Opinions clearly differ, but I know that the few times I've had to take the 300SD out, the few ice spots were NOT fun to drive on. In fact, I once did a 260 degree spin while trying to make a left turn down a hilly road - and this wasn't planned. So no, mespe, I don't believe I haven't enjoyed driving till I do something as stupid as taking that 300SD out on slippery roads during the winter. My Corolla handles perfectly on snowy highways even at up to 70mph. And getting out of my neighborhood is never a problem. I know someone that lives down the street from me had to get rid of his 2wd pickup truck and get a 4wd one just because it is impossible to get out of our neighborhood after a snow/ice storm as the city guys normally clean neighborhoods last and major streets/highways first.

The best doughnuts I have ever done were at my work's parking lot, one of my friends tried to do them in his dad's 4x4 pickup, and failed horribly

.....so I pulled out into the middle, the surface was part ice/very packed snow, and I turned the wheel all the way left, hit the gas to the floor, and spun in three circles in that one spot

Needless to say it annoyed my friend. hahaha. Its so fun whirling around in a circle in a car!
