Should be good in most weathers. As long as the sump doesn't ground out a
Min will get most places. I had one as my first four cars and got through
places well. At the time we lived in the English Lake district so got some
fair weather, but not feet deep too often....
It'll spin but will pull straight with it, so the spinning doesn't matter as
much as on a RWD... You learn to feather the throttle and steer lightly.
Don't go too deep in water though... The alt is pretty low and the dizzy is
too. A washing-up glove with the fingers trimmed works well for
dizzy-proofing. Always preferred a nice bright yellow Marigold brand
meself....
Get out there and have some fun!
