I bought a ski rack and snow tires for mine. Here in the Northwest they don't use salt on the roads, but they do use some kind of "stuff" on the roads that DOT refers to as de-icer. I drove mine in the snow today for the first time...on plowed, maintained roads. That's the worst thing I'll find up here. It had a tendency to be a little squirrelly on hard packed stuff, but I've never driven a sports car that wasn't. This car handled as well as any rear wheel drive car I've ever driven. When I bought it the dealer sold me the "Northwest package" which is an undercoating(kinda like the old z-bart undercoating) and a special finish over the paint. Since our climate up here is rather harsh I decided it would be worth the extra money to get it done. I was right. Even when it's dirty it still shines. It's only a year and a half, and I don't drive it all that much, but so far I'm very happy with it...in any weather.
