Yeah I have no real need for a truck, but I sure was impressed with what his little V6 Jeep Liberty did yesterday. It is a thought, but the upkeep and replacement parts discourage me. My GTA has all season Yokohamas I put on it last season on the 16x8 wheels, but I don't know how much better the car could do with say blizzaks and 15x7 wheels. Can anyone share if they've gone this route.

As for the fwd I don't think I'd be comfortable in too many smaller cars so I would be leaning towards an intermediate and I don't want bottom of the barrel either. Something not too new and something not duct taped together either. It would still most likely be better than what I've been driving mpg wise.

For an awd sedan I'm not sure how much better they are than a fwd I've never driven either in bad weather. Can anyone compare for me. There are a few I like, but are more expensive and would have more maintenance I'd assume.
