[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Colorado.  Any car is fine.  They treat the roads and plow.  My best Colorado advice for you is to NOT buy or rent a house facing North.  Snow melts quickly on your driveway and sidewalk unless your house faces north.[/quote]

Also a Colorado native and generally agree, except for rear wheel drive cars. They are decidedly NOT fine in the snow. No need for AWD/4WD for the most part. It only helps if you have to power your way out of significant snow. If you live in a city, which most people in Colorado do, this is not going to be an issue for you. Any front wheel drive car will be just fine. Know if you are driving anything like a pick up, you will likely need some weight in the back in the winter unless you want to be all over the road. Snow tires nice and helpful in the winter but solid all season tires with good traction are fine too.

The beauty of Colorado is its sunny almost every day. It snows, roads get plowed, and they are completely clear the next day after the sun comes out. You don't really get snowed in for multiple days. Heck, when I lived there (through college) we didn't even get a single snow day from school from middle school until my senior year of college. Its not the arctic tundra most people seem to think it is. [/quote]
