What car in Canada?

[T84]

I posted this in GG but I guess I'd get more answers here.

I live in Montreal, Quebec and I really want to get a car, must fulfil these criteria:

• $4-6k CAD
• Preferrable 4WD
• Has decent safety (Drivers are terrible here, I'd really like a US Classic but again, the driving is terrible!)
• Convertible would be nice but not essential
• V8 would be nice as well!
• Won't kill me in winter

Any suggestions?

f150 or other truck...

They that cheap?

I don't know if a truck appeals actually, I wouldn't need something as big as that.

I was thinking something more sedan sized...

Ex-police Crown Victoria on snow tyres? No-one'll drive close enough to you to get into an accident if you get a white one with black steel wheels :-)

Thanks, I'm considering joining Communauto instead as it seems pretty cheap!

Wrangler (jeep)
4WD
Covertible (almost)
Might not kill you in winter

Could be a plan! Would you say you need 4WD in Quebec ?

Dodge Ram! Mine came from Canada (to the UK)

Definitely a pickup. You could even get the convertible effect if you got someone to drive while you sat in the back.

Here's mine!

That's bloody huge!

Lol, just a bit but i'm used to it now.

Ok so now Christmas has been sorted I'm looking at this again.

Thinking of being really boring and picking up a B6 Audi A4 Quattro or similar for around $8k, unless someone can tempt me otherwise...
