With that little snow, I wouldn't think twice about taking the Civic...

They don't plow often enough and my street is a sharp turn with a incline. I tried bridgestone blizzards and studded tires and it has a hard time. I barely made it up some of the unplowed hills with only 3 inches. I only have to use the truck till the plows make it all around and no more snow forcasted ( I am forced to use it about 12 to 20 days which I don't mind)
