Time to say goodbye to the yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

After years of farting around with Jeeps and the like...I came to the conclusion that there's no one "good car" for every task, unless the weather and the job stays the same.

Certainly in PA the weather changes. So the ideal car for that January moment, is not necessarily the best for the summer season.

Were I in that situation...I'd buy, probably, an old 4x4 truck or SUV. JUST for those snowy days.

But then, I have a Tercel as my winter beater right now, and here in deep-frozen Wisconsin, where the side streets are packed with two-month-old snow crust...I'm having no trouble getting around. Granted, a lot may depend on the local geography...but all-wheel-drive is pretty complex and maybe an unnecessary expense.

But we all have to find our own way. Good luck with it.
