Passing stuck trucks. No really. Aside from a certain '70's Camaro (which wasn't quite street legal), I haven't owned any cars which performed poorly for me even in strong winter storms. If you have an accident or get stuck, you're not half the driver you think, the car isn't properly equipped (see: TIRES) or you underestimated the weather. I have gotten myself into trouble a couple times for not having the right tires on... Colorado weather sucks if you're looking for predictability; For example, it snowed the night before last... 80 something today though. If I include my wife's cars, I'd actually have to say her '89 Accord is the worst car I've driven in the snow.
As for the whole reflector or fog light thing... Reflectors are a weak attempt to increase visibility in adverse conditions. They're not just useful for snow and rain... they're VERY handy in FOG. The only problem is that reflectors are dependent upon the light from the following car's head lights reaching them in a sufficient quantity so that there's enough left to actually make it all the way back for the trailing car's driver to see. IMHO, reflectors are only good for trying to keep people from hitting your car when it's broken down on the side of a dark road with a BHG.
Rear fog lights are where it's at.
