I work 48 miles from work and when it snows hear on the island they do not plow right away for some reason. I would not be able to make it to work in the Versa. I also do not want to go out get a brand new truck then put 100 miles a day on it so I need two cars.

I don't understand? A Versa can handle 1 2 3 ft of snow? I understand we don't always get that kind of snow but when we do which is often I will not be able to make it to work. As for point 2 I'm not buying a brand new truck to then kill it in 3 years when it has 60-70k on the clock, plus I would get killed in gas.

LI averages 26 inches of snow over 5 months. How many regular 1, 2 or 3 foot snowfalls do you get? We actually get about the same amount of snow per year and I drove my Civic in 13 inches of snow last year without a problem. That amount happens rarely, just like LI.

You may want to re-read what I wrote with point #2. Neither of my scenarios included buying a new truck.

The Xterra handles snow so well. You literally can go anywhere you want in the snow. Versa? I don't know about that... 13' Xterra is good. But yea, if you do end up with the Xterra, make sure it's a 10'+.

I spent this winter driving a Honda Insight in areas that get more snow in a week than LI gets in a year...east coast snow is even easier to drive in. As long as you know how to handle snow, you should be fine.

hehe, the snow you guys get is nothing compared to Montreal, some good winter tires and you have a tank, granted that Versa is super light. Just something to think about.

Only thing that saddens me about owning my Z is having to store it for 4-5 months a year
