Drove into work today on roads covered with up to an inch of ice. Other than the car wanting to spin itself around CCW it was really uneventful. I had 4 25lb bags of cat litter in the back and was able to clutch and idle away from stops then short shift through the gears to 4th and 30-40mph. I even made my way past a S60 (?) that was having trouble pointing straight down the road.

ABS seems a little crude but it works.

The only incident occurred at work in the parking lot. I parked, turned it off, patted the dash, said thanks and stepped out. Arms and legs everywhere I managed to snatch off the rear windshield wiper as I slid down the grade.

RWD wagon in the snow and ice? Works great.
