Can anyone comment if they have had any issues driving it in winter? Are you nervous or relaxed while driving?
First time I have driven RWD in winter in a looong time, and last car had nothing like the power of this one.

But totally fine with it. With some sandbags in the trunk over the rear axle and some winter tires (and as I just said in the last post, I have Michelin PA4 performance winters) it is completely fine in a Calgary winter. Great in the dry/wet and not at all nerve wracking in the snow we've had. Just drive it with some care and go easy on the throttle from a stop and it is fine.

If you went with something more hardcore (say, Hakka's, either studded like coolmody or even the non-studded) it would be even better from a stop.

The 'summer season' is too short here to make these cars winter garage queens!
