I have never, ever had a problem in the rain with my 87 GXL. Never.



I live in Texas so driving in the winter is not that bad here but I have never had a problem in the rain. I remember a few years back having to drive mine in some icy conditions and never had a problem. It doesn't happen much here in texas though.



To be very honest, I feel very safe in my RX7 in the rain. Maybe I have been lulled into a false sense of security. Now my good friend has a '03 Vette. I do not, and I emphatically repeat I do not feel safe in that in the rain. I sometimes feel like it is getting away from him when on dry roads let alone wet.



Now the safest car I have felt in in any conditions is an '03 BMW 745i. Now that is a secure feeling car.

In the snow you will lock up all four wheels on light braking! The car it too light to get any traction. But it can be fun in a parking lot if you have someone who is gonna be there to pull you out if you get stuck.
