A's are great fun to drive in the snow plus you can impress your buddies with just how much snow they will go through (you don't need no stinkin' front wheel drive!). Just go out right after a storm before the roads get salted or stick to side roads that don't get salt.

Another example of a reply that didn't directly answer the OP's question, but added considerable value to the discussion and potentially did many of us a service!
(...but not me, snow-free downunder, where the only salt that gets on my car blows in off the ocean!)
Thanks, pgerhardt and 40 Deluxe, for keeping it interesting around here!
