It happens to us all, every year our cars get stuck in the snow to the point where we might need the aid of a few folks to push us out. I’ll be covering all of the drive trains and which is the best for the winter.

Front wheel drive

Front wheel drive gets bashed a lot in the car community for not being the best way to put down power. You might here some Honda haters say “ha front wheel drive, more like wrong wheel drive”. In one way this is true, front wheel drive isn’t the best way to put down power. But front wheel drive is indeed a lot better than rear wheel drive to keep you moving through snow. I’ve seen my friends literally park there rear wheel drive G35’s and continue to walk home. Rear wheel drive tends to slip a lot in these weather conditions.

Rear wheel drive

Rear wheel drive cars can be fun in the winter if all you want to do is drift, but if you want to stay on the road this might not be the best drive train for you. Rear wheel drive vehicles slip a lot and is a pain to drive in the winter.

The ultimate All wheel drive

All wheel drive is the champ for driving in the winter. Having your power evenly distributed to both front and rear wheels isn’t the best for performance. However this drive train will get you through the snow with ease. I have gotten stuck in the snow with AWD so this drive train isn’t bullet proof, it just helps.
