I got through last winter OK, though the Crossfire did spend a couple of nights out in the cold.

Due to the curving uphill driveway and the need to occasionally haul large stuff, I'm looking for either a Subaru station wagon or an older SUV like a Jeep Cherokee under $2000.

After 20+ years of driving front wheel drive cars in the snowbelt the Crossfire was a refreshing change. It's a lot more capable in snow than most people would believe but you have to remember to turn the traction control OFF. Otherwise it keeps applying the rear brakes until it stalls the engine.
