  1. Fwd will behave differently but it's a great learning experience too. On the other half it's true that rwd will give that low speed sideways satisfaction we're looking immediately. We even tried in a vw bug, there was a lot of understeer aha

  2.  @Tanner_Teves  you can have understeer with rwd too, especially with a heavier engine and with a mechanical lsd (that has preload and ramps on deceleration). Though it can be corrected with a bit of throttle to make it oversteer, if it's icy under snow with a bit of speed to bleed off, it can understeer too. Giving it full lock won't help, on the contrary. It's the same in the wet (and on the dry at the extreme), you have to work with the available mechanical grip you have, once you've exceeded that limit, more steering angle won't give you more turn in, you have to bring back the wheel and try to gain back that grip, and then try to stay in that limit of available grip. Easy to say I know, when it's icy and curb is coming straight at ya. A little fwd with not much power, skinny snow tires and lightweight can be weapons in snow believe me. You'd have to work harder with a rwd to do the same
