I completely agree that winter is the best time to look for inexpensive deals for buying a car for the summer. I, for example, prefer to spend my free time outdoors in summer. I like to go hiking and organize a camping weekend for my family, so the ideal car for the summer, in my opinion, would be a RV. If you think the same, then I can share with you a link to an article with reviews of different models of such cars and with an RV cost comparison. I think that this can be useful for you when choosing a summer car.
