Question for you more experienced car owners.

Despite living in phoenix, i have also lived some snowy places ... i would get a z, and a beater awd for the winter. it will only be a matter of time before you lose control. even though the z isnt the fastest car in the world, it has a low end kick that throws your head back even when youre not trying ... especially the auto downshift.

are there hills where you live? if there is, it's safe to say rwd is not ideal unless you plan on going up the hill in reverse (with snow tires of course). you can get a beater as frost has mentioned, but that really defeats the purpose of a "daily driving car", not to mention that'll cost a few grand extra. there are a few alternatives in that price range that are suitable for winter driving. if you can find a vw R32 in your area, that might be your best option. Or you can always wait another year for R20T. depending on your age/preference, Evo X isn't a bad option either. just my 2c
