Is the 300C a good car for FWD?

The 300 is pretty well balanced and has almost 50% of its weight on the rear wheels, so the motive traction is actually very good. During the last big ice storm, I was able to make it up hills that several FWD vehicles around me couldn’t. Definitely stay with the 300C! For goodness sake, what did we ever do before AWD and FWD?

Can a 300C be stuck in the snow?

Snow tires helped the 300C a little, but not enough. It was almost embarrassing to get stuck in the snow at intersections as 4WD SUV’s and front wheel drive cars would drive past without a problem.

The 300 is pretty well balanced and has almost 50% of its weight on the rear wheels, so the motive traction is actually very good.
