year round for me (as long as it's top-down weather!). Living in NC we get snow a few times a year, but nothing major. Mostly cold during the winter months, but we get days in the 60s and low 70s - so I can dig it. This won't be my primary car, so no biggie. I'm changing to the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires, so I don't want to be anywhere near snow.

Definately year round for me. I grew up in northern Wisconsin and went to school in the U.P. (390" of snow/year!) driving a V8 RWD the whole time. After I moved to Michigan, I broke down and bought a FWD GP thinking it would be better in the snow...I HATE IT in the winter. Gimme a RWD that I can hang the rear end out around corners any day. They are so much easier to control in snow if you know how to drive them.

Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD

i would love to drive mine year round. im not worried about the snow or anything like that. what i dont like... grrrr.... salt. my mortal enemy. i really dont want any salt to touch my car. id rather have a powerful RWD car for the ice than a weaker FWD.

In that I live in Arizona, of course I will drive it in the Winter, and in the Summer and the Spring and the Fall. THAT is why I live in Arizona!

P.S. We only use salt on our watermelons, not on our roads. Come to beautiful Arizona for the driving fun of a lifetime.

What are some good inexpensive winter tires?

Living in Florida I will drive mine year round. Have lived in Iowa, Erie and Mpls I am happy to be in Florida

Here's a clue as to my expected driving habits for the Solstice: I'm thinking of making this my vanity plate: YROSOL

Anyone know the answer? It is a bit obscure, but here's a hint - somewhat graphical.

This past weekend we had 29" of snow! Guess that tells you what I'll be doing. I wouldn't even have been able to find my Sol!

But today it was 68 degrees and the sun was out. I'd be top down for sure.

hey im just wondering who will be driving their solstice all year 'round and where you live... i plan on this being my only car and i live about 20minutes from chicago...

Right now I have a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT that I use as my daily driver. I also have a 2002 Crown Victoria LX which I almost NEVER drive... only on Fridays and when I'm going somewhere nice.

I WANTED to keep the 97 GrandAm GT as an every day car... but I simply cannot have 9 cars at the house. That being the case, the Solstice will end up being my daily driver. Which is OK... anything other than body work, I can always repair myself... I do plan on keeping the car for a very long time... so we'll see.

I'm down here in the Heart of Dixie!! Might get a snow fall once a year. Only two months out of the year I'll be keeping the top up all the time. Love the South!!

It won't be my primary car, but I plan on driving it all year, weekends and small trips. but not in any snow or ice.

I'll be driving my Solstice year round but not every day. Here in Cheyenne, Wyoming it can be blizzarding on a Monday in December and be 65F on Wednesday. I'll try to keep it off the ice and the road salt.

Oh, and yes, I've driven a convertible in Wyoming in January with the top down and the heater on max. Yes it was worth it.

Year round for me too. Have to keep it home in snow, ice and most rainy days. I have to go over 1 mile on an Oklahoma dirt road.
