Are Ford Mustangs bad in the snow?

I live in Pennsylvania where the winters have been bad recently with snow, ice, etc. How are these cars in the snow? I currently have a Camry and was thinking of getting a recent model Mustang convertible.

That has much more to do with driving habits and tire quality, than it does with the make / model of car.

Depends on the driver and the tires.

They could be better, yes. BUT, if you know what you're doing & how to drive in bad weather & don't get yourself into any bad spots, you can make it work. I drove over-powered Crown Vic 'police' cars all up-&-down the east coast for Uncle Sam for years, & have decided that driving in bad weather is more the drivers then the car. I've driven by all sorts of 4x4's & all-wheel drive cars that were in the ditch, because I took it easy & knew what I was doing. Also, I drove my personal '89 5.0 Mustang in northeastern Ohio for years with no problems.

Your Camry is better, but do you put winter tires on the Camry? If not, a Mustang with winter tires will be at least as good as a Camry without them. Put four on, not two. People got by with RWD cars for many years before FWD cars became common, the right tires are key. If you are thinking about this being a big extra expense, it's not as much as you think, your regular tires will last an extra couple of years because they will sit in the garage every winter, that offsets a considerable portion of the extra cost.

A Camry is better but with good snow tires, it will be ok

Heavy powerful rear drive cars are always poor in snow

They can be though regardless of that you do not want to drive a convertible in winter (even with the top up) so keep the camry and save up until you can afford the mustang as a second car.

Yes they are bad. All RWD cars are bad in snow. However with good winter tires, you may be able to get around town driving slowly and carefully, especially when turning.

It depends on the driver, but i would invest in a set of studded snow tires and drive slow in the snow, go easy on the throttle and use low gear. I can never take my lincoln town car in snowstorms because its fast and powerful

A Mustang with a posi trac rear will go better in the snow than any Camry,
But a Mustang with open dif will not be vary good
