Don't let winter prevent you from getting this car. I had trouble-free driving over 3 years, including lots of winter highway driving and driving in freezing rain.

Get good winter tires (I had downsized 205/55R16 continental extreme wintercontact tires, which were great), and once u spent a bit of time learning how the car behaves in low friction (snowy parking lots), I drove with nannies off (more predictable power and braking).

One thing to keep in mind: if you live where salt is used on roads, invest in rust-proofing, and make sure to use antiseize on bolts (if you mod anything underbody).
