I DD drive mine because it's a company car, but I would highly suggest the following if you really plan on keeping the car around for the long haul:
-Winter tires (a given)
-Undercoating, and not the traditional kind. If you're close to the Canadian border, drive up and go to a Krown location. If you're not, order some fluid film for the boxed sections (rocker, inside the cross member, etc.) and AMSOIL HDMP for everything else that gets hit with salt spray.
I've been undercoating my cars religiously, and have always had great results. Also, as a chassis engineer, let me assure you that anyone who tells you modern cars have enough undercoating to keep them rust free is completely, and utterly wrong. I won't go into the details..but let's just say you should consider aftermarket, oil based (the traditional tar and heavy undercoating you buy in stores hardens and seperates from the base metal, can trap moisture and actually cause rust- We see this in Canadian vehicles a lot) undercoating and good snow tires to be safe.
Let me know if you have any questions!
