I have an sti with snow tires and it handles amazing in the snow/rain. but with the summer tires on it, i almost lost control in the slush (just slush): 20mph, took 40 yards to stop. the abs didn't work because the tires didnt have enough friction to roll again once they locked so when i feverishly pumped hte brakes nothing happend. At least that's what the brake control guys where i work said when i told them what happend. For the record, i have never had problems driving in the snow/gravel/ice.
I think a set of snow tires and common sense is all you'll need. but i also agree with whoever said it above about practicing regaining control. this being my first rwd car, i'd like to practice regaining control in a controlled environment (autoX empty parking lot)
