Driving CRX on the snow is incredibely fun! I've done it so many times, I live in switzerland alps. Good winter tires, a bit of handbrake and you are set :D
Pros: incredibly fun, good winter tires
Vehicle:
Honda
I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.
Pros: great on unplowed roads
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.
Pros: reliable, safe, good on gas
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh
Pros: Speedo is GPS accurate
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
Pros: good and reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Pros: successful in snow
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, at almost 100k miles and basically no issues outside of tire maintenance. Subaru AWD is top tier as well
Pros: top tier AWD, no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 160934 km
My 2017 Outback with winter tires is like on rail during snowy season. I have never driven a car this good on winter.
Pros: good on winter
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Finally, check your tire date codes. Tires older than 6 or 7 years are no longer suitable for riding on, as they have lost a lot of their elasticity and therefore grip.
Pros: check date codes
Cons: lost elasticity, lost grip
Vehicle:
Honda
I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
Cons: shakes at low speed
Vehicle:
Honda
