you&me can probably back me up on this, but I've heard that one of the best winter 'beaters' if you're a sports car nut is a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 because the AWD system on them is so good and the ground clearance is sufficient. |
Yep, been there, done that with 996s through 991s... Great (winter) cars and again, the only issue I've ever had comes down to clearance in rutted winter roads. Otherwise, they're absolute tanks.
And I'm with everyone else saying you buy 'em to drive 'em... If I had the choice of buying a car I love but having to subject it to winter driving (while taking proper steps like TD mentioned), or buying a lesser car because I had to also buy a winter beater... well, I've never done that.
