			I switch off, depends on my mood, the weather, how long it's been since they were all driven, etc. Sometimes it's a 2003 Tundra, sometimes a 2011 Silverado, sometimes, Z-3.

			Beater Blazer. Goes everywhere, drinks gas, and is so cheap to fix I haven't been able to finally give up on it yet (radiator started leaking this summer, did a wp, thermostat, hoses, etc. while I was in there and still spent less than $200).

			2004 BMW 325i with 180,000 miles on it. The thing has been faultless, have never even seen a check engine light (or any others...). I've been thinking of replacing it for a couple of years now and I can't find anything I really like. It's German so it requires a little more attention than a Honda but it's easy to work on.

			Can't help you with the snow part - don't know the meaning of that strange word. I just got out of a BMW X1 that was AWD and would be a great DD in places that actually have weather. I switched to this though which I'm loving so far

			You do not need a 4x4 for winter. You do need four snow tires. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					My diesel Jetta (2001) and my V70 Volvo (1999) are fine in winter.
