Hello,
     The Milano is kinda like All FWD cars I have
driven with the exception of two units..One is the
1964 DKW i enjoyed owning for some 5 years..the other
is, oddly enough, a Chevy Lumina, circa 1997, which
had the Best foul weather driving habits I have ever
experienced. I can't explain why this particular car
worked so well in frozen ice ruts, deep snow or
torrential rain, not to mention foul dirt and rock
strewn roads.  All I know for sure is that it kept me
safe while other cars spun to their demise on roads
that were not suitable for walking on, let alone
driving quickly on.
     The DKW was a joy to drive quickly on any
surface.
