I have a 2020 Honda Civic SI 6 spd-it is FWD and is not bad in the snow, put on some winter tires and it will handle anything. Gets 33 mpg overall and is a hoot to drive--plus the manual shift is as good if not better than my C2S.

Perks of being on the west coast. 911 is the beater car.

No daily driver here - I have 5 sports cars and they all get driven roughly equally. If I need to bring the kids, I’ll drive the 993 or 992 because they have rear seats. If I am going to the grocery store, I’ll take the Vantage because it has a more practical rear trunk (only front engine car of the bunch). If I’m going to the track, it’s the GT3. Any other trip and it’s just whichever one I want to drive or haven’t driven in a few days.

Living in CA, we don’t get snow and we aren’t the type to take road trips.

DD is 2023 Carrera T but if the going gets rough (need to haul bikes/skis) Mazda CX9 gets the nod. Blizzaks year-round.

I’ve been daily driving my current 911 C2 since 2017. Plan to daily the new one when it arrives in August (fingers crossed). We do also have a VW GTI that my wife daily drives, and a VW Atlas for hauling kids and sports equipment that gets a couple thousand miles per year. That said, throw some winter tires on a 911 and you won’t be wanting for traction in the snow (just ground clearance in the worst storms).

992 GTS manual serves as my daily 9/10 of the time in Maryland weather. Until I get a set of winter tires, that last 1/10th goes to our Mini Countryman.

Could I see more pics of the Armada? I have a QX80 the same color and was thinking of blacking out the chrome, lifting it and putting big tires.

2015 Lexus LX570 3 tons of fun. 24 T will be my daily and we'll sell either my wife's GX460 or my LX.
