have you heard of an e30ix?

Not for sub $2000.

e30 are a beast in the snow, there like unstopable haha I have a 88' ix that i paid 1800 for and its so fun to drive, but you can probably find a subbie for cheaper and there great for winter too

Its more about the tires than the car. Get whatever you can find in reasonable running condition with FWD or AWD and add some good snow tires.

Last 2 years I was driving around a 99 Honda Accord. With brand new Michelin Alpine tires. Worked great, never got stuck. I'm in Detroit, so I'd guess snow fall is similar.

The E30 now has some older Blizzaks on it. Has been doing great so far as well.


With all that said - Subie FTW. Especially if you put snows on it!

good tires make all the difference in the world. I had blizzaks on a 92 E32. Bilizzaks with traction control = tank in the snow

Cherokee, it's like the e30 of the jeep world.

E30 + fresh set of blizzaks = unstoppable.
under $2k easy.

the 4.0 is one of the easiest motors I've ever worked on, not sure about the V8s.

The 8's arent bad to work on either.
