What are the top performing vehicles for winter?

Question

What vehicles perform best in icy snowy winter conditions on the highway & inner city?

Answer 1

Most any front wheel drive car will be good in the snow.

Car like the Volvo's and Audi's and WRX's would also be good, but expensive.

Answer 2

Out of all the cars I have been a driver and passenger I might say that Subaru is the best in the winter. At one point I was in my mothers Subaru legacy GT wagon going through feet of snow like it wasnt even there. I felt safe and in control. As long as you have a good engine and good tires you should be ok. I drive a VW Passat and its not all wheel drive, but I have these great Nokian WR tires for all-weather and they are great for me.

The only other car that I have driven before that I really liked the winter performance is the Ford Explorer V8 SUV. I drove up an extreme un-plowed driveway and it went right up no hesitation- I tried the same driveway with my VW, and it locked its wheels and slipped all the way down (and this was after it was plowed). I think the heavier the car is the better in the snow.

Answer 3

honda, subaru, smaller cars that are FWD or AWD1 Trucks are your worse nightmare.
