I'll be driving mine all year round. I've been driving my '79 Camaro all year for 6 years now and I would much rather have a RWD car instead of a FWD in the snow. It's all a matter of what you get used to I guess. I just throw some sand bags in the trunk over each wheel and I'm good to go. On the really bad days I'll throw an extra bag lengthways over the rear axle. Of course in the Sol they're going to have to be pretty small sand bags...lol I prefer the TubeSand from Lowes. I believe they're 40 lb (might be 60 lb) bags that are about 6" in diameter and about 2.5 feet long. Only about $3-$4. Could probably let half of the sand out to fit in the Sol's trunk easier.
