Hal, she wants all-wheel drive but I am trying to convince her that they cost too much and that she does not need it.
In reality, I am afraid of more parts to break/fix knowing that I am going to buy a high mileage car and then attempt to put way more miles on it.
Our present car does OK in snow as long as there is some weight in it.
Last year our family of four went skiing in northern Michigan in it and fully loaded, with Pirreli snow tires, we safely drove 80+ mph on the snow covered highways and we drove thru our condo parking lot that had 4 inches of snow on it without any problems.
Eric, I think the cold weather package will win me some points with the wife. Not because of the ski bag (we have a rack system), but for the heated seats!
We typically have only maybe 10 days a year of bad winter driving days and on those days, if she needs to drive, I leave her the 4wd Tacoma and I get to go play in the snow with my rear wheel drive cars (it is fun for me).
