The car is great in the snow, by the way. If you like that kind of spirit, of course :-)

nice ride

These cars are more then competent in the snow but if you do have the option of driving something else it should be considered. Now if you don't mind the little bit of wear and tear the winter causes then it is indeed a blast to drive in the snow.
hmm im second guessing parking it......was never thinking of keeping it long time....hmmmmm

If you're asking this you seem pretty boring and should just sell the car.
