A 2016 Maxima Platinum Edition and a 2005 Titan SE. GF Drives a 2013 Altima SV, so I have a variety of Nissans to chose from. The Maxima is really a 350Z in a 4-door package - sports, handling, looks, power, and luxury... Love it.

I have a 2016 BMW 750i xdrive, and surprisingly it is not all that great in the weather. Ive noticed none of the BMW I have owned are that great in snow. I usually just take my wife's Infiniti QX60 and that does much better than the BMW.

It's not the car that does bad in the winter. It's the tires. Get winter tires and your 750i will be a force to contend with.

It's both.

It's absolutely both. Snow tires on a Z only make it possible to drive it in snow, and perhaps slightly less dangerous. It certainly doesn't make it fun, and it certainly doesn't make it safe.

This is Minnesota. We don't screw around with our winter vehicles. First flake of snow and the Z goes in the garage for its long winter nap. Having said that, we've had several days in the 40's - 50's and the snow/ice has melted off the roads. I uncovered the Z, took it off the battery tender and drove it all day on errands today. Pushing the season for sure...normally it's rare that I can even drive the thing in March. I have no illusions though. History suggests that some of our biggest snowstorms happen in March.

I strictly drive my Z on week ends. My daily drive since last week is VW Jetta now, it replaces a Dodge Dakota SLT.

I keep my Z as my fun car and my daily is a Mazda SUV.

I drive my Z all year-round. Blizzaks in the winter.

Best and smartest thing you can do, if driving the Z
during the winter months.

I find it odd when I either encounter youtube videos or people questioning the practicality of driving the Z in snow. It's as if the concept of winter tires is an unknown factor. The videos tend to always have Z's in either summer or all-season tires sliding around with no chance of traction. Commentator's seem to always ignore what tires they're running and simply insist that the Z is a summer car not fit for winter driving. Drives me insane...

Duc_Z09

Winter tires go a long way. I think their real point is that a Blizzak equipped 370 still isn't a Wrangler by any stretch of the imagination. Deep snow is still going to get you, salt/calcium will still cause rust, and who wants to lose their pretty sports car because someone else who can't drive in snow slid into it? Mine stays parked in the winter. YMMV
