Reviews
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
Pros: this thing is a beast
Vehicle:
Mazda
I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
Pros: good rubber, handles winter
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
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
I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems in snow
Vehicle:

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 also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.
Pros: helped in sand
Vehicle:
Mazda
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.

I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3
Cons: wear quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
Cons: very expensive
Vehicle:
