Not necessarily, depending on the cost of the truck. See above for all the reasons that having two vehicles might be an even better solution.

Kudos to you for finding a great solution for your requirements! I guess we'll have to disagree...

I see people commuting alone everyday in giant 300+hp SUVs!
People with families can't get by with a 2 person Insight, as you do...
Am I the only one who sees a logical contradiction here? As in the family might be better off with 1 Insight for the single-person commute, plus a van for hauling the family.

I put snow tires on my Sonic and it does fine in the snow where I live and the roads I drive on.
I guess you don't live where I do :-) Around here, a lot of the non-main roads don't see plows that often. Even in town, after a big snow (which might not happen every year), a good many residential streets will wait weeks before being plowed - or melting, whichever comes first :-)
