Ironically, it's the Torsen that makes this car tricky to drive in winter (or the wet for that matter). The chassis and weight distribution are fine, as is the 6 inches of ground clearance (the car looks low and you sit low but it is still properly high off the ground in stock form), but the Torsen has a 4:1 bias ratio which is a lot, very tight.
Just btw we have excellent portable shovels here made from heavy duty plastic, lexan or aluminum. No need to go for steel. Rona and home despot both carry the Quebec designed and made fold flat scoop type trunk shovel and shy ski mountaineering shop sells excellent avalanche shovels suitable for heavy duty shovelling (it is often thought avalanches are soft snow, not correct, if you've ever skied across one you will know they set up like concrete once they stop, don't let your friend carry a wimpy shovel, lend him yours....).
