Which car is best for icy conditions?
I live in the country and own a 2014 BMW 5 Series which is useless on icy days. Which car would serve me better for such conditions?

Winter tyres might help - they're beneficial when temperatures drop below seven degrees. Alternatively, consider a 5 Series with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. You could also look at an Audi A6 Allroad or Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain if you want better snow tackling ability without getting an SUV.
