Get a toyota tercel like i did, amazing on fuel (I frequently average 5.5L/100km in my 5 speed) (50ish mpg) and it was the cheapest car I could find on insurance. ---

if you get a winter beater, what happens to your insurance? can you switch it from one car to another? telling the insurance company that you are only driving that one vehicle for the winter? or do you maintain 2 separate insurance policies? ---

You just remove and add onto the policy. Most of the time you shouldn’t need to specify seeing as how all your doing is swapping vehicles, and everything covered is the same. Depending on your policy though you can keep the summer vehicle under certain categories like fire and theft, and in my fathers case, pay $12 a month, and have your winter/dd vehicle under full coverage or w.e for however much amount. ---

Roomy, comfortable and luxurious and with a 190hp V6 they rip! My brother has one and I’ve driven it many times, so I can actually vouch for what I’m saying.
