I lost control once and that was at 2a.m on a patch of black ice and I'm pretty sure I would have spun out in any vehicle. The issue isn't four wheel drive. Any decent weight and wheel base width and you're fine.

not necessarily, my firebird was 3400 pounds without gas and was wider than my moms buick, and it sucked in snow. and speaking of my moms buick, that was front wheel drive and was wide, but it still wouldnt do that well when it snowed bad. 4 wheel drive can be a requirement here sometimes. for instance, last year i left a hockey game downtown, and i was on the interstate going 35 b/c if i went any faster the rear end wouldnt be stable. even sedans had problems, the only vehicles that were able to handle well were trucks and suvs with 4 wheel drive.
