My previous car was an Escort wagon, and I believe it was slightly heavier up front because my first reaction to the Prizm in the snow was that it was not quite as good. That's worth keeping in mind, but I never saw that aspect of the cars quantified in my research... I would think like you. The weight issue would never have crossed my mind. It did now since he was "complaining" about the Mazda in the snow. Your car is heaver than his Mazda. The funny thing was I did not think one could get a lot lighter than a Cavelier but he states there is a huge difference. My present car is a BMW 740 series. It handles fine but I can't rationalize the cost compared to various other luxury cars at half the price. That purchase was a once in a lifetime purchase and I will go back to something far less costly when the time arrives. Just an explanation on light vehicles in the snow. I own a Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. I only insure it to drive from April 1st through November 30th since it is not to be driven in the snow. It does need started and moved a bit during storage and I backed it out onto about one inch of snow and then it would not go forward to go back into storage. That was not funny at the time.
