the best bit about the 305 sedan is its fairly conventional suspension
alot of peugeots can give people the waterworks when things go wrong with the rear suspension

How much snow
Bad idea

sure if you know what to do when you lose control

What state are you in
Yeah I'd probably have a second car in that case
It would probably be doable with snow tires but I wouldn't take the risk

What car do you have now
Fwd is fine as long as it isn't a ton of snow
I'd rather have fwd with snow tires than awd with summer tires
Or awd with all seasons even
My winter car is fwd
As long as you live in an area where the roads are plowed often fwd is perfectly fine

It's not too bad, but ofc It's not a very expensive car
It has supportive seats, nice leather wrapped steeringwheel, and padded/cloth area's on the seats which wasn't a given in the segment back then
Well quite common on European cars in the segment, but definitely not on Asian cars for example

I'm actually quite impressed by the Meriva's interior... yes down low are harder plastics but the top is very soft... and it has like plastic covers around the windows in the door, so you don't see the paint in the inside like in many other cars
Which is often not there on even more expensive cars
