Advice needed on winter driving and different types of cars.

#5. Get yourself a beater truck that will get you from a to b in the snow. The jeeps like everyone mentioned are hard to beat as well as an 80's blazer or suburban. You can even find 90's blazers pretty cheap.

This is pretty much the /thread

My T/A sucked in the snow. It is finally retired and I got a Mustang GT for a daily driver. Traction control and some good all-season tires and it has been O.K.

That being said there is no comparison to my wife's Corolla, you can actually drive it places when there is snow on the ground.

I'd opt for a cheap winter beater, FWD sedan or something.

Pish posh....RWD is fantastic in the snow!
