Not recomeding this car because I like dodge, but the awd sxt magnum 250hp for $27.925 not bad, new honda accords are nice too

Thanks to modern tires and (fairly) even weight distribution RWD is fine it the snow. Just but a second set of wheels with winter tires no matter what you buy.

We had a big (for here) late, icy snow a couple months ago and I mostly saw FWD cars by the side of the road and at the back of the multi car pileups.

And there are lots of good snow crashes on you tube with lots of FWD & AWD cars involved. Here is my favrite.

how the hell could the city let the roads be that icy

If you had a few more months to wait you could snag an 09 ralli art lancer, awd, SST dual clutch tranny, same motor as the evo, detuned to about 235hp.. for around 25k, but you said you were going to buy this week.... so this information is useless >.>
