Sharlene - I bought a Chevrolet Equinox. I don't live out in the country here, so I'm not battling serious snow storms that need a big truck, but we do get bad snow and icy weather for about 6 months out of the year. It handles the icy roads and snow very, very well.

I actually test drove a few vehicles, decided exactly what I wanted, then ordered the exact one with all the features and specs I wanted. When the car arrived, it had exactly 3 miles on it. It took a while to arrive, but it was worth waiting for the car I wanted. I am very, very patient and particular when making big purchases, so I never rush or settle. My last car, I had for 9 years before upgrading. I expect to get at least 10 out of this one.
