Honda Vs Toyota Vs Nissan???

I'm thinking of getting either a toyota, honda, or nissan any year ranging from the 95's-99's or 2000. This will be my first car so I'm looking for reliability and a gas saver. I know that these are all good choices but i dont know which to choose. Everybody has hondas so I wanna be different but there really good on gas and thats what grabs my attention. I feel like toyotas are kinda boring. And as far as nissan I feel like the work they put in the design is much better than the hondas or toyotas but they arent much of a gas saver as hondas are. I just dont know which to choose, i would be happy with any one of these. any suggestions?

No car will make it through several feet of snow without a plow. I have been driven in like a foot or more using 4x4. It was a wild ride.
I have seen an old VW bus driven on a packed snownobile trail but I considered it foolhardy. The old VW bugs had good traction in snow because the weight is in the rear. Any front wheel drive car should be good in snow. The Saab is a very winter car.
Actually, any car can be good in snow if it has decent tires and maybe a sandbag or two if it seems like it needs it.

Did you buy a car or lease a car , you seem confused.

You cannot transfer a car to anyone else, the car is YOURS in YOUR name, with your credit. Call your car dealership, but I think you screwed up big time.
