All weather tyres and AWD/4WD would be even better.

In the UK almost everyone drives manuals and most vehemently defend them but the
automatics these days let you choose the gear anyway and formula one race cars
have had automatics for decades as the expensive ones are faster than humans.
Automatics also tend to last longer, though when they do go they can be a car
killer due to the expense.
