That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Appreciate the response man.

I drove mine in the city and outer-boroughs these past two winters. No issues. Just get winter tires and don't drive like an idiot - you'll be fine.

I've driven mine for two winters with a decent amount of snow and have had no problems. I put Blizzaks on.
The best thing to do IMO is take your car into an empty parking lot and learn how to drive in the snow.
I'm going to guess that the person above who mentions sliding the car didn't have snow tires.
Go for it. You won't regret it.

What was the most snow you have driven it in?

We had between 10-12" one night and I drove the next morning. Of course, there wasn't that much on the road. I let the "morning people" move it out of the way.
