EB-
I'm being facetious. Although small and 4WD are not mutually exclusive.
It's a very British/American attitude that if you see snow, you need a landrover.
and FWD will do pretty well until conditions are extreme.
Plenty of people in Siberia with far worse conditions than Glasgow that are still driving little 70s hatchbacks just fine -
No but four wheel drive does
Make very little difference if it have normal tyres tho.
Put winter tyres on a hatchback and it'll actually perform well if not better than a SUV with normal tyres.
(CSB, my dad's 4WD car slid and scratch the entire passenger side when going down a 25% driveway while my mum's second hand Skoda Citigo with winter tyres happily climb down).

2.5 tonne cars help in snow do they?
