Mitsubishi's have a reputation for being good in snow. My old coworker asked me if my Mirage is AWD. The Mirage does have more tech for traction etc. than any 90s car, so it depends on what shoes you're wearing on the car front. For me my Mirage purchase back in April 2014 was a huge upgrade from my old ford escort wagon.
I have owned my Mirage almost 6 years now. I live near Flint, well near Port Huron/Sarnia, and I was in Flint going to Lansing just this past summer. So Tommyskillz, the Mirage is 7/10 in the winter. Has advantages of traction control etc. that new cars all have, but also light that it can drive on top of the snow.
I have had orig Dunlops, and now wearing out Bridgestones, both all seasons ,all seasons, on my Mirage. And I am sure there are better cars in the snow, but some people say heavier cars are good for plowing through the heavy wet stuff, others prefer light cars that can drive on top of snow.
I want to try the Vdredstein Quatrac winter tires if I can find them, and possibily the Pirelli 14 inchers. There's another with the Nordman brand.
