What's the best vehicle to drive in ice and snow?

It depends on the severity of the weather. Snow tires are a must, even before choosing a vehicle. I'd go for anything front wheel drive first, as they're a bit easier to control on slippery snow than rear wheel. If the conditions get worse, go for something that's 4 wheel drive. Worse than that, and I'd go for something with chains, and something that's very wide (like the original hummer). Anything past that and you may as well get a skidoo/snowmobile, or something with 8 wheels or treads.  more
