Are Ford Mustangs good cars to drive in the snow?

Question

Non convertible ford mustang... does it handle snow okay?

Answer 1

NO. I bought a mustang last december. Definitely not. Maybe a v6 mustang that is automatic. Definitely not a v8 manual. My tires just spun. I had to take off in 3rd gear and it definitely did not handle well. I put like 500 pounds of salt in the trunk and it made it a little better. This year the mustang goes in the garage and out comes the geo tracker I bought :)

Answer 2

I have a 80 Capri which is the same as the Mustang and have never been in a worse car in snow. I have owned only rear drive cars until recently so I don't want to hear about how I can't drive rwd

Answer 3

probally not. it all depends on the tread of the tires

Answer 4

No . I had 2 stangs when I lived in NJ, and you can't get around in the snow without snow tires and some weight in the back.  

Answer 5

If your not used to a rear wheel drive car in the snow then no.  A front wheel drive is your best choice.

Answer 6

Not particularily, ford mustangs are not very well known for good traction in rain and snow so if youre planning on driving in snow, maybe pack some chains and a shovel incase...and get your airbags checked.

Answer 7

not good....but 30 years ago there were no front wheel or AWD cars...we got aroun ok...didnt know any better i guess...but many today cant drive very well.
