Winter Driving Machines
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 9:51AM The Top Cars For Snow Travel
Oddly enough, we have not seen a ton of snow yet. Of course, "yet" is the keyword. We all know it's coming. So why not prepare?
If you're in the market for a new vehicle and you live in the Northeast, doesn't it make sense to consider how it handles in the winter? Well lucky for you, we've got you covered. Here are our picks for the top snow cats in the West Herr line up. ;)
the Suzuki SX4 Crossover
AskMen.com named this one of the best values for a winter vehicle, pointing out it's one of the cheapest vehicles with a 3 mode all wheel drive available. Tom Bey from AskMen said the Suzuki is perfect for "commuters who’d rather not spend nights stuck in the office with every moderate snowfall." There you have it!
Ford Flex
An interesting design for sure, but it's toughness in the cold can't be trifled with. All wheel drive is an option, and one you'd do well to consider. Multiple reviews have praised the Flex's traction powers on tough roads.
Subaru WRX
Subaru has a long-standing reputation for premium handling in the inclement weather. All wheel drive is part of that. Beyond that, thje suspension is top notch, perfect for anyone who drives over bumpier roads in their travels. We could have easily included the Subaru Outback in this list too, Subaru is that good. ;)
The Land Cruiser had been in production continuously since 1951, so Toyota must be doing something right. The lineup has been used for everything from royalty transport to military duty. So this fine machine won't have any problem getting you through the snow.
