Hi I currently have a stty vauxhall corsa which I resent driving but I brought it for cheap when the head gasket went on the mx5. The mx5 should be fixed on sunday and I would like to put it back on the road and sell the corsa but thinking about the coming winter and a possibility of snow which do you guys think will be better in the snow a stty 1.2 fwd vauxhall corsa or a mx5 mk1 1.6 with a bit of weight in the boot and a pair of snow tyres on the back?

stty Corsa, mostly because you won't care about the salt, dirt or crashing...

Fit some winter tyres to the Corsa.

Doesn't sound like the OP wants to throw money at the Corsa...

The MX5 will rust, seemingly regardless what you do. Get rid of the corsa, get a set of winter wheels/tyres for the MX5 and enjoy yourself.
