We've got a 2002 Outback Wagon, does well in the snow in winter. Good enough to take me from NH to Boston on most snowy days.

Not happy with this one, because I live in NH it means I still have to pay more tax than the average Mass resident for the privilege of working there.:mad:

I've got a crap car, but never had a problem in snow or ice up here with a basic set of newish tyres on the car. They clear the roads pretty quickly after snow.
