The Perfect Snow Car

So, we're finally in November. Sooner or later, small white flakes will start falling from the sky and eventually will build up until it becomes a heaping white mess. This will suck, especially if this happens on a weekday, and you have to go to work. So, in order to prepare for the harshness ahead, I've devised a selection of cars that will help you endure this wintry weather coming up.

2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

1. Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The new Range Rover Sport is probably my best pick. Although it has been redesigned and reconfigured to look and feel like a sports car, it still harnesses that toughness and rugged off-road ability. Well, I should know, because I actually have one.

My Range Rover Sport

From the moment you buy it, you'll start loving it. It's 5.0 liter V8 engine pumps out 375 horsepower, more than enough to take on the snow. It also has a low range gearbox for handling some of the tough snow, realtime four-wheel drive, and a very clever terrain response system. There's a dial right below the gear lever which allows you to adjust the suspension and comfort of any terrain, including snow. There are also ride height dials so you can adjust the ride height of the car, and a Hill Descent system which electronically slows the car down when coming down a hill to prevent an accident. Also, it's a very aggressive, yet sexy looking SUV. The interior looks exquisite and will warm you up, too. Both the front and rear seats are all heated so you can stay warm even when it's cold. The price for all this luxury and ruggedness: $60,000 - $74,000. My Range Rover Sport cost $72,000, but trust me when I say this: you get a lot for your money.

2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

This car, even without the racing gearbox, off-road tires, and racing roll cage, is a true rally car at heart. It's Turbocharged 2.0 liter 291 horsepower 4-cylinder engine can handle any snow with ease. This is because of a clever Active Center Differential system that comes standard on all Evo X models. Basically, what this system does is adjust the rear differential and suspension to the type of road your driving on, whether it be Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow. The Lancer Evo also has All-Wheel Drive for maximum grip and control during harsh weather. The price for this road going rally car starts at $34,000, which makes it the perfect car for some serious snow rallying action.

2011 Bentley Continental GT

3. Bentley Continental GT

This car holds the record for being the fastest on ice. It will hit 200 MPH if you give it an icy straight. But that's not important. What's more important is how this big Bentley handles, which is actually pretty well. The car is powered by a 6.3 liter twin-turbocharged W12 built by Volkswagen. That engine pumps out 587 horsepower, which is far more than enough to take on the snow. It will reach 60 miles per hour in under 4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 200 MPH. But what makes this car perfect for the snow is that it is fitted with Torsen-based all-wheel drive. This gives the car maximum traction on any road, even if its snow covered. This Bentley allows you to turn up at work in style. The interior of this car is made up of drinks globe luxury. The center console is made of walnut. The seats are made of premium leather and are all heated, so you can stay warm and feel rich. Unfortunately all this luxury comes at a price: $190,000 to be exact, making it the most expensive snow car you'll ever buy. But, at least with it, you'll get to work comfortably and on time.

2010 Nissan GTR

4. Nissan GTR

This is another fast snow car. The only difference between this Nissan and the Bentley, is this is a little bit more affordable. It costs $84,000, which sounds like a lot, but there is a lot that you get for your money. First off, you get a twin-turbocharged 3.7 liter V6 producing 480 horsepower. You'll be able to reach 60 MPH in 3.3 seconds all the way to a top speed of 193 MPH. Most importantly, you get Nissan's ATTESA E-TS® all-wheel drive standard on all models. Now although you can pull awesome snow drifts with it, it does give you maximum control on troubling roads. It might not be affordable, but its really worth the price.

2010 BMW 335i xDrive Sedan

5. BMW 335i xDrive Sedan

This car is one of the best; all the specifications are just right to fit your needs, nothing more, nothing less. It's 3.0 liter twin-power turbocharged inline-6 engine produces 300 horsepower, enough to take on the harshness of the snow. With a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds, this car will reach a limited top speed of 150 MPH. That's fast for such a sporty 4-door sedan. What makes this car so great is that it is available with BMW's patent-pended xDrive all-wheel drive system. This makes the car seriously grippy and gives it traction on snow. The price for all this pure performance: $44,000. This is actually good value for a car that's fast and well-controlled. 

So, here is my list of cars that will take on the snow. I hope what you find here is a good match for you.
