Really blunt, I don't see my wife driving her way out of an accident. That's just not something she would do, she's not wired that way. I could put her in a Lotus on slicks and it wouldn't matter, she wouldn't drive around a wreck. So I put her in a big ass brick that will take a hit and win.
They may be worse for snow, I dunno, I don't care, if it snows here in FL we aren't going outside lol. It'll be total.pandemonium.

Agree on this. It's the other drivers you need to worry yourself with.
I've got 4 drivers in our house- 2 adults and 2 kids (college/hs). My college kid was hit by an uninsured local whose record indicates she shouldn't be driving. I've been broadsided by 2 drivers who ran red lights.
An F1 couldn't have avoided any of those collisions. Physics wins in the end and I'd rather we all have larger vehicles that are better equipped to protect the occupants.
