I have a 2004 VW Jetta I daily drive in the summer
I don't think the Z would be safe in snow, I would never attempt it.

I bought my current Z in St. Cloud, traded my old one there. Big fan of Miller. When I traded my 2011 for my current 2014 in late late February, it snowed two days before I was going to go down and make the trade (90 miles). I couldn't even get my Z out of my garage---zero traction. Miller Auto actually brought the new one to my house on a flatbed, dropped it off and took the old one away. I concluded the whole deal at my kitchen table without even setting foot in the dealership at any point in the process. It was about as easy as ordering a pizza.
My winter DD is a 4WD GMC Sierra. It's a lot more fun to drive in 5-or-more inches of snow than any Z car.
