Are you driving on the Stock tires, which are Summer tires?

That will be why. If you get a set of winter wheels/tires, you'll see a drastic improvement in winter traction... Cheaper than going through selling/trading your car.

On most trade-in's your going to lose money. Think about snow tires? The EVO is a downgrade I would say.

AWD
Factory Turbo
Seats 4 and has a trunk

It does have some perks over the Z, so "downgrade" I think would be a bit harsh? I mean looks are subjective so to each unto their own...?
