    Hi all, it's been a while since I have posted but have been a member of the community for quite some time. I'm heading out of Manhattan and moving into a newly purchased townhome in Westchester in April/May 2007 depending on closing. I am going to need a daily driver for my fiance/myself (shared) that will get us to the train station and around the town. This car/truck must be good in the snow as well as our community is on a hill and the trip to the train station in a snow storm/icy roads is mostly downhill.

    I'd want to lease the car and spend around $400-600 month with little to no money down. Any recommendations? Any/all would be appreciated. I do not mind a 2 or 4 door (car or truck), but must be good in all weather.

    Thanks for your help!
    Darren

    A BMW 328XI (AWD) would be great. I have a ford fusion AWD that so far has been great with plenty driving in snow. ALso look into the lincoln version perhaps-the mkz

    Anything Audi Quattro. :)

    I love my S4 Avant and it is awesome in the snow. Carries plenty of people and tons of stuff, has big balls for being an unassuming wagon.
