The Z is not necessarily a practical car even for single people. It is an awesome weekend car but as a dd somtimes can be inadequate. But he is so cute/sexy I'm gonna hold on to him a bit longer!

It's even better if you buy a P.O.S. Jeep Cherokee for less than $2k and add a lift kit. Driving a Z in winter is retarded IMO.

However, driving it in the snow is stupid; that's what 4WD is for. I've seen Z's smashed into guard rails because their owners thought the laws of physics didn't apply to them.

FWD's make for good slippery road cars too.
I haven't had the opportunity to drive it in snow, but I find the Z to be pretty sure footed for a RWD car. Modern traction control is a nice thing. In the old days RWD+snow = goes everywhere but where you point it

It is, winter tires makes all the difference. I've put on 10's of thousands of miles in the winter in the rocky mountains with out a problem, people just need to learn to drive their cars, both FWD and RWD Hell even the 4X4 crowd. I see more 4x4's in the ditches here in the winter then anything else.

i find that the majority of the 'in-the-ditch' moments are the SUV's like the rx350, mdx/rdx, x3 etc etc. the laws of physics are not kind to those kinds of drivers. |
