Any of the cars I've had (including the current Octavia) with a nice heavy diesel lump over the driven front wheels. The Z3 will stay firmly in the garage!

The altea. It proved its worth in the heavy fall of 09
Big heavy lump of iron over the driving wheels, not too much HP buts lots of torque at low revs.

Nissan Primera, 2-litre Petrol, FWD, Auto box with "snow" mode.
Used it in Switzerland - brilliant!

9/10 for me :-)
I tripped up on the effects of fitting snow chains to the rear wheels of a FWD vehicle - I thought it would at least assist grip with braking, the quiz thinks otherwise.
I wouldn't fit snow chains to only the rear wheels of a FWD vehicle anyway ;-)
Which of the cars you have owned would you rather use to make a journey in virgin snow?
I would say probably my first car, the Aggro, for its skinny tyres and lack of ABS. Although its lack of lots of other things, such as heating or crash protection, would put me off.
I drove from Gt Yarmouth back to Cambridge in January 1992 through a heavy snowstorm in an 81/W reg Cortina, along with a friend in his 89/F reg Astra SRi. I know who had more fun ;-)
