What brands/makes/models do you guys recommend? I’m looking for something with AWD to get through snow in the winter.
Which brands/models should I avoid?
I want a safe, reliable vehicle for commuting to work and general use.
Any and all insights appreciated!

I can personally testify that you cannot go wrong with a 2008-12 or 2013-17 Honda Accord. You can carve out a good selection to pick one from, as I did, on CarGurus. I just specified the maximum distance I was willing to travel to find one, and maximum mileage; I selected 90,000 miles, and landed a 2010 EX trim with 71,000 miles, last year.
