| A Honda CRV, although they aren't that that cheap anymore. You could get one that's a couple years old, though. |

I'm looking for something similar (must have AWD or 4WD.)
Any thoughts on the Nissan Rogue or Mazda CX30? |

Gas mileage isn’t that great. |

| Good tires are more important than what model vehicle you get. |

| Any that have AWD or 4WD are good but I'd go bigger than a CRV. |

Mazda, any Mazda. Best cars I've even driven and I've driven many on 2 continents. |

| No to the Nissan Rogue unless they got rid of the CVT transmission. We bought a Nissan bc the price was cheap and now we need a SECOND new transmission. Don't buy one even though they are cheap!! |

If you want cheap get a Ford or Chev. If you want a car that will last and be reliable get a Honda CR-V or. Toyota RAV4. I am
A first responder and the CRV AWD does fine getting me back and forth to work in our winters. |

Why bigger? |

Love my CRV. Along with the RAV4, which DH drives, they are the perfect cars for everything. Big enough, but not too big. Solidly reliable. Perfect. There is a reason they are the most-purchased, non-truck vehicles in the US year after year. |

In terms of the 'area weather conditions' (which are really not that remarkable more than a few times per year) this is absolutely correct. |

no one around here is putting on tires capable of dealing with the 1/4 of ice that we get. No car is good at dealing with it either, but it's once a year so it's not really that big a deal |

Agree with this comment about Mazdas. Owned several and always happy with them. |
