I've always been a fan of the Celica during the winter, but like has been said make sure your tires are good. Any car with good tires will get you around though, people who say a certain car sucks in the snow either doesn't know how to drive or doesn't have good tires on it.
Tidbit of info if you don't know already. Make sure your rear tires are the ones with more tread (if they aren't all evenly worn). It may seem like you want more on the front tires to grip, but the rears are what determines your line of travel. If you have tires with less tread on the rear then the rear will drift around. I tried once when I heard this in tech-school because I didn't believe it, it was like driving with 2 slicks on the back the ass-end slid all over the place. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
