Can this car handle slippery roads?

Nope it does not have four wheel drive. l would look at a Subaru or Mitsubishi, if you want a cheap four wheel drive car. Most cars equipped with four wheel drive are expensive compared to a Scion.

No it dos not have 4wd. If you're on a slippery road just slow down, then you do not have to really worry about it ;). But ya if you want an AWD car then go Subaru, all their cars have it. Also try Volvo, but that is starting to get alot more expensive than Scion. But the Mitsubishi is do not have AWD, just the Lancer Evo which cost in the $35k range.

nope.

Do you have nice pie?

Front wheel drive, you should not have any problems on slippery roads.. another thing is it really does not matter if you have front/rear/all wheel drive on a car, you need to slow down and take it easy :)
