Any FWD vehicles with LSD/limited slip?

[Brybo86]

Thx for all the replies, sounds like I need a minivan...

I think I like the 2011+ Sienna FWD V6, ideally Leather, with Tow pkg but without NAV and any extra tech stuff.

Only thing that turns me off is the middle seats apparently have a huge trolley/rail system that is not easily removed or replaced if hauling is needed.
Also center middle seat seems more substantial on the Odyssey.

The Odyssey seems good but VCM is a huge turnoff to me as well as having a timing belt, VCM more so than the TB

Most wagons and I think all minivans are front-heavy, unless loaded heavily...

I noticed a significant difference in snowy hill climbing ability going from my iron block atx 1995 Neon sedan with 65/35 weight dist, to the Al block mtx Focus wagon. I can only find corner weights for the ZX-3 hatchback and even it has about 63/37 so I'm guessing the wagon is 60/40 or less.
Anyways snow tires are a must IMO so the wagon is still fine for winter but it does take an extra moment to accelerate on snow compared to the Neon.

Oh, no doubt. Wagons are definitely less front-heavy than sedans in general. That's different from being rear-heavy as supton's post says.

Looks like you are right. Looks like Grand Caravan is 56/44, while my old Jetta Wagon was 58/42. I thought was skewed worse than that.

I'll agree with the other about FWD with LSD, had one, WAY to easy to start plowing the front end during snow/icy conditions. Not worth the little bit of extra grab when taking off in a straight line in my opinion. Normal open diff with snows Ive found was way better.
