Snow is also a factor in wanting a fwd car.

find an old 4banger 4x4

ive never owned a ranger the one ive been showing you is my friends truck lol jk i hate to see you go i always though you and i had a thing but i guess not take care good luck with the honda

get a 4 banger ranger

they don't get that great of mileage either, mostly because you have to have your foot in it all the time to go anywhere.

That would get about the same gas mileage as my truck.

And it's still primarily rear wheel drive.

FWD>RWD in snow.

i know where you are coming from. i sold a ranger to buy an escort. fwd, 32 mpg, small, light and agile. big difference from my truck... i still have my second ranger though. you know, to do the things my car cant.

owning a second vehicle isnt nearly as expensive as i thought it would be koda, you might want to think about getting a ranger as a second vehicle sometime later on. i save enough on gas to more than pay for insurance and registration on the car. rangers aren't really practical as a DD unless you really need a truck.

Not quite true actually.

I have had many cars and trucks. And too be honest a rwd ranger with about 200lbs of weight in the bed and a good set of tires is JUST as good if not better than any of my FWD cars i have owned.

I have NEVER been stuck with any of the three rangers i have owned but have been stuck in both my old 1988 Dodge Shadow ES turbo witch had 4 brand new all seasons AND in my 2004 VW Jetta TDI with 4 brand new Nokian snows and it had traction control witch would brake the wheel free wheeling to drive the other wheel.

Handiling wise a fwd wont oversteer but they do tend to understeer in the slippery stuff witch i find much more troublesome. Wear as a pick up will oversteer much more but thats easier to deal with i find.

Obviously 4wheel drive is better than all and i have owned one of those too but most times even with that i left it in 2wd.

None the less hope ya enjoy the Integra cars can be alot of fun. Some times i do miss some of my old ones (specifically my 1986 VW golf diesel funnest car EVER).

Just dont want ya to get a car and find out it really aint much better when the snow flies.

KODA - I know that I haven't talked to you much, but if I head up near you I have a Ranger I would sell you for about $300 including delivery. it needs work but runs strong, I just enjoy everyone on TRS and would do anything for them, its such a great community of Ranger owners

I used to dd a FWD car... snow is one of the reasons I don't have it anymore.

At college they would only plow between the parking stalls with a v-plow. So I would have to shovel the furrow away enough that I thought I could get my car out try it... almost get high centered and claw my way back in so I could shovel some more. With memories of cruising thru plow drifts over the front bumper without cracking a sweat in my Ranger back home still fresh in my mind. If the Ranger could have made the voyage, hands down I would have picked it over the car anyday for snow transport.
