As for luggage? 911s carry a lot more than you might think - the GT3 has a fair amount of room in front, and the spot where the rear seats would be (in any other 911) is pretty large too. I can't comment on the Ferrari though.

911 can carry luggage in the back "seat" but the official trunk is tiny, smaller than the BRZ. No golf bag will fit, but you can fit two golf bags in a Cayman.
Porsche promotes winter driving their cars and SUVs up here in Canada, knowing how short our summers are. They put on ice driving sessions for Porsche customers. They promote winter tire/alloy packages at (for Porsche) reasonable prices. Driving a Porsche in winter is commonplace in Europe.
Because they handle so well they drive exceptionally well in winter, especially the 911 with its rear weight bias although a sand bag in the trunk is a good idea. The Cayman needs no sandbag, I winter test drove one and it is truly amazing. I expect my BRZ will be just as good as a good chassis in the dry will be good in the wet, unless it's a BMW.
