Four Seasons Winter

What is the best car to drive in the snow but also practical for four seasons/gas etc etc?

I want control on the snowy roads in the winter, and I want room when I go shopping for large items, but also want dependability, good record, best on gas, basically the most for my money, and also good in the summer too.

Check up on your state laws, but many states allow studded snow tires certain months of the year. If you're willing to spend the money and effort to have an extra set of tires/wheels that you switch over once in the late fall and early spring then studded snow tires will give just about any vehicle amazing grip in even deep snow. I had these type of tires on a series of Honda Civics and a "del Sol" which is a low slung cabriolet and these cars could drive in snow deep enough that it brushed against the floor boards. The down side is that studded tires are really noisy on dry or wet roads and they actually provide less grip on dry/wet roads than a good set of all-season tires.

An alternative is to put "modern" snow/ice tires on a car which in my experience aren't as awesome in deep snow but probably a better overall compromise if winter for you is a variety of dry/wet/snow/ice conditions. Both the modern snow/ice tires and the studded snow tires do wear out in maybe 20,000 miles so you only want them on the car in the snow months when you really need them.

Again, if you spend the money on an extra set of snow tires and cheap steel rims, and you plan on keeping the car many years, then you could switch the tires yourself and the snow tires will last longer.
