But if you put a set of tall narrow snow tires on one they are wicked good in snow. After all it's what the snowplow driver drives to work when there is a big storm.

Yes. They had amazing traction. My dad built me a set of bolt on wheel spacers for the rear and mounted dual wheels on it. I had to bury it in a swamp to get stuck.....which I was still able to do occasionally... lol...

They have and still do really well in the Dakar and Baja in their classification. And don't forget AZN's Dung Beetle lol .

Tales of Volkswagens, everybody has one.
Dad bought one for my brother and I to drive. Lesson learned, when your kids get to driving age, get them an I don't care car.
No defrost in freezing rain, just open the window and stick yer hand out and scrape.
Alternator light on, stop, accelerate flat out in 1st, hammer it into 2nd and , bingo, alternator light out.
Heat at feet, melts snow off boots. Overnight melted snow freezes, so "ice breaking" the clutch and brake pedals is part of the start routine.
Tires that flat spot. Go bump bump backing down drive, then get out of sync and the bug would waddle like a duck for the first few blocks.
Couldn't stop it in deep snow, it just plowed on.
My brother killed it trying to drive across a newly plowed field, perpendicular to the furrows. Not saying anything about sobriety.
