Best Winter DD under $5k

Aescen · 08-15-2014, 11:24 PM

Looking for some suggestions that aren't "Get a Jeep, man!" My current beater might not make it through the winter, so I wanted to get some ideas on mind for it's replacement. Looking for something preferably AWD and not an SUV/Truck/Etc. Don't need to link any classifieds, just some general ideas that you think might be in my range.

Get a civic or corolla, something reliable, + WS40 blizzaks.

FWD car > AWD junk tires
