You don't want front-wheel drive, either. I drove a Taurus in New Hampshire for a couple of years, and it was downright unstable on snow. Geting out of a driveway turned into an adventure too often. A four-wheel drive car is wonderful in a place with some semblance of real winters. Subaru and Audi make great non-truck style cars with four-wheel drive.
- nostrademons 18y agoMy parents (and later, me) have driven Sentras, Civics and Accords in suburban Boston with no major problems. We get about 3 times as much snow/slush/wintry-mix as the city itself, close to New Hampshire levels. If you're experienced driving in snow, it's not really a problem. 4WD is, of course, nicer. But I don't want people to think they have to have a 4WD vehicle if they live in a snowy place.
