Been thinking of getting a 4x4 for a winter car instead of a

good platform

does guzzle gas for an i6 and the trans can be problematic if you aren't on top of fluid changes

they are quite comfy inside in spite of cheap GM interior

probably the only recession era GM worth owning

Thanks for answering!

If ill buy one ill keep and eye on the trans, thats pretty much the only negative thing i found, and as you said the cheap interior, but dont think ill be to bothered about that.

Whether you go with one with the Atlas I6 or the Vortec V6, they're pretty darn reliable with minimal upkeep and maintenance. Big downside of course being the garbage fuel mileage. Don't be surprised to average 10mpg or below. Yea, it's that bad.They aren't great offroaders because of their size and weight but should get through most conditions quite well.
I don't think an old Volvo would be that much worse though. I drive mine through snowy/icy conditions on almost a daily basis and it's quite capable despite being RWD.

Yeah i dont have to much of a problem with my old Volvo on the icy/snowy roads.

But i want to drive on roads that arent that good in winter, where there might be around 10 inches of snow or more, i have driven on roads like that with my Volvo, it have gone ok, but would kinda like to have a 4x4 to be on the safe side, and to drive where there is more snow.

They didn't come with a Vortec V6.
Engine options were either the Vortec 4.2L I6, the Vortec 5.3L V8, or a 6.0L LS2 V8

Get a used Nissan Xterra or a Mitsubishi Montero

Tracker is love, Tracker is life. That or any old Zuki. I guess in Sweden it would be sold as a Suzuki Grand Vitara or just Vitara. Interiors are pretty boring looking (cheap plastics galore) but screwed together very well by canadians. My tracker (2.0 5spd) has 200k and runs perfectly. Fairly small but endlessly practical.

What? Regardless of arbitrary configuration, any fullsize SUV with a gas motor is going to be thirsty. Doesn't matter how the cylinders are configured.

Did they have the SAAB 9-7.. it is a trailblazer, and did come with the 6.0 ls2.

The pre-9th gen burbs are ridiculously stable
