Which one would you choose?

Well now that winters here. The G35 must go away for the winter! DAMN.

I got around 20K CAD to spend on another car/winter beater.

Here were my options:
-2003 Infiniti G35X
-2003 Acura TSX
-2002 BMW 3 Series
-2002 Nissan Altima

These were my first pics. What do u guys recommend as a second car. I perfer a sedan.

I don't think there was a 2003 all wheel drive, the 3 series is RWD which isn't that good in the snow. TSX or Altima from the list just for a beater.

TSX is a nice car, if you got the scratch for it...get it.

But if you want to spend less get the Alti

None are my idea of a winter beater.

From the list of cars you made the X would be my choice(hardly a beater though) with the Altima and TSX next

I'd get the TSX from the list... but those cars are too nice for a beater My idea of beater is $1000 Honda Civic with 200k miles

I agree...I wouldn't call it a "beater" if it's a 2000 yr. model or newer. Would it make sense to get a car that's 4wd or even a small SUV? Just my $0.02.

Seeing as the G35x is on the list and you are looking for a winter car....it seems like the clear choice to me. I haven't driven a G35x in the snow, however I have heard that they do VERY well.

either G35X or 330XI both AWD...I would go with the 330XI over the G35X though.
